Okay im sure most of us know about them little paper finger things we made in school you write like different numbers and on the inside you put little sayings…. And you have some pick the number and you move it back and forth dah dahh blah blah anyway then they pick the inside and you open it up I know this is hard to explain but don’t know how else to say it…..

Anyways…….. I was going through my sons papers and I found one of them it was a little nostalgic for me to see one I haven’t in so many years…..so I put my finger in it and count blah blah I open it up to read the sayings and almost fell out of my chair!! One said “you’re a queer” another one said “flip off the principle” one said “F--- OFF” and the other one which made me extremely P-od is “drink milk from a girls T----y” now I know my son didn’t write it I know his writing and even tho he is 8 he is what they call developmentally delayed he yet cant read or write very well….. So I asked him where he got it he said a friend gave it to him… I forced him to tell me who so he did…. I told him I was taking it to the principle tomorrow he begged me not to because this kid wont like him anymore if he gets in trouble…. But I have to…. don’t I? I mean I know how tough it is in school and it can be torture if you get on someone’s bad side…. Especially someone that’s in a higher grade…. I really wish I can home school but there is no possible way right now I don’t know what to do…. Dh says leave it alone because Nate cant read it anyway but it still isn’t right…any suggestions?

Well I went to Nates school today to drop off the money for his school pictures…. I had the paper with me but didn’t think I would mention it…. When I walked in the office the vice principle was standing there and said hi Nathan said you needed to talk to me? I was kinda thrown off a little well apparently Nate told him all about it this morning (what he could understand of his speech) …. So I told him I wasn’t going to say anything in fear Nate might catch hell from this kid…. He said that he will not know Nate said anything to him he just wanted to be able to keep an eye out I gave him the note and he read it his jaw dropped to the floor…. But assured me Nate will be okay…. So I feel better and I told Nate that I was proud of him for going to mr I can never remember his name lol…… thanx yall
