Always Check Your Child's Homework

My mom sent this to me, and I thought it was hilarious!


(Here's the reply the teacher received the following day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it.

Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

There's a part of me that thinks being an exotic dancer sounds more fun than working at home depot. I might have just let it slip to keep em' guessing.

Soo funny! I wonder how many personal (and misdirected) comments from students make a teacher raise their eyebrows. I am sure there have been a few made from my children that I would be mortified if I knew what the teacher actually heard.
