Wordless Wednesday (Ok Not Really Wordless) – The Curious Case of the Forgery with Linky
It was an odd day. My five year old, extremely talkative daughter was very quiet on the way home from school.
“Are you sick?” I asked her.
She shook her head no.
“Are you tired?” I then tried.
Again, she shook her head no.
I was stumped. What the heck was wrong with my child?
Finally, it hit me.
“What color were you today in school?”
No answer from the back seat.
This was not good.
My child who was not talking had surely gotten in trouble for talking at school.
This is what I saw in her agenda when we got home (although note that I took the picture today after she got home – she was green for good behavior today):
Wow! This was her first one of the year. I mean, we know the kid is a talker. She is my daughter, after all. And she yaps non-stop at home. But until yesterday, she was able to control herself at school.
Apparently, she was also very ashamed about this because even though I had already seen it, she didn't want to bother me with having to sign it. I saw her doing some scribbling in her agenda and then promptly forgot about it as I immersed myself in helping with homework, dinner, baths, etc.
I was packing their bags for school the next day when I came across this:
Not sure how in the world she thought that this forgery would make it past her teacher! And? My name is spelled BACKWARDS!!!
Needless to say, we had a long talk with our chatty child about listening to her teachers and how she will never make it as a professional forger. We also talked about what being honest means and how she is NEVER to try to forge anyone's signature EVER again.
You HAVE to give her credit for creativity.
I bet that is a first for her teacher.
Had to make her smile.
That is some IMPRESSIVE backwards writing! You should be proud 🙂
That is so cute! My son was a talker big time in 1st and 2nd grade!

Oh my goodness! That is actually kind of funny. 🙂
Ohh that is great! LOL
At first I thought she changed the color of the smiley face. My son has done that, tried to scribble over the bad red smiley and make it green….Like we wouldn’t notice
SORRY – BUT THAT’S HILLARIOUS! IT REMINDS ME WHEN I WAS 8 & FORGED MY MOM’S NAME & SPELLED IT WRONG AT THAT! YOU WILL LOOK BACK IN YEARS TO COME & GET A CHUCKLE OUT OF THAT! 🙂
I still have a smile on my face. Children do and say the darnedest things.
Love it!
Neither of my Bears have tried forgery but…the year is still young.
Thanks for sharing…I’ll start visiting more often.

It takes talent to write backwards like that!! LOL!
What a cute story! I bet her teacher got a kick out of seeing that!
That is too cute – the forgery!! So sweet. We have two talkers too and it’s a good thing they don’t do these faces for them because on a daily basis I’m told that my oldest talks nonstop and asks a million questions. I love it though and wouldn’t change it!
LOL! Ohhh that is so cute – what a stinker 😀
LOL..teachers must see the best things in kids’ planners. That’s really cute.
OMG HOW funny. You are going to be in sooo much trouble when she hits her teens lol. Save those pics for prom night.
Happy WW!
