Going Grey, But Laughing All The Way

I always knew Jonas was trouble. Usually good, lighthearted, creative trouble, but definitely trouble. His teacher met me at the car when I picked him up from school today. I rolled down my window and she handed me a travel sized can of shaving cream, one that I recognized from my own bathroom.

Apparently, Jonas snuck this to school in his pocket this morning where it remained hidden until recess when a new kind of playground terror was unleashed: The Shaving Cream Monster. Jonas squirted children, lathered up the slides and chased his peers around wielding the shaving cream’s instant foaming action as a tool of delight and destruction. The teacher was clearly miffed, and I knew it was wrong but I still turned my head away from my son so I could laugh about it, even as the teacher was informing me of the incident. I apologized mirthfully, and tried to glare at Jonas and send the message that this behavior was VERY WRONG INDEED. Then I called Chris at work to let him know what happened. All I had to say were the words “Jonas, shaving cream, and school” and he went into hysterics on speaker phone. My mother at least had the decency to make sure she couldn’t be heard before laughing out loud.

What am I supposed to do with this kid?

  9. that’s very creative of him! LOL!! We have gotten to the point where we have to frisk Cameron for contraband both before school and church. We’ll find out later he’s taken the most bizarre and inappropriate things to school! Must be the age. =)

    Honestly,you should try to get him involved in a kid’s theatre class. I bet he’d love being on stage.
