Tonight when we were putting the kids in bed I had to move Bridger's back pack off of his bed and I found his planner. I checked to make sure that it had been signed off for the reading that he did today. He is supposed to read an average of 20 minutes each school day. Well today after 10 minutes of reading he announced that he was done and that he didn't care if he had to stay in at recess (sometimes if they don't read, then their teacher has them stay in at recess). I decided that it was okay, it was his decision and he could be done.
Well when I was checking his planner this is what I found...
Jay had signed off 10 minutes for today, and Bridger had forged Jay's initials and signed off 30 minutes for tomorrow. At least he can add...he knew that he needed an extra 10 minutes.
It just made me smile. I hated reading when I was little. I remember when I was in the first grade I would get down the ward directory (to copy down how to spell my mom's name correctly) and hide behind our big green chair and forge her name on my reading assignments. I got away with it until parent teacher conference when the teacher told her it was cute that she would let me practice my writing by signing her name on all my homework.

So, apparently the apple didn't fall far from the tree, eh? That's so funny! I used to fudge my piano practicing time.
That is seriously sooo funny! Kids will do the darndest things! That was pretty funny to hear that about you too. Your teacher had quite the sense of humor! Oh and you need to have your parents play your Wii, it was so funny to watch mine.
That is awesome!! I just love how creative our kids can be. And how scary it is when they become a reflection of ourselves. Did you have to make him read the 30 minutes so he was being honest?? Just curious how you handled the next day. Love the posts, keep them coming!!
Ha Ha ha!! That is hilarious! Kids are pretty smart!! Sometimes, too smart!
