Parent/Teacher Conference
Note: This lightning-fast exchange REALLY HAPPENED! It occurred during a parent/teacher conference for our son, and it made some jaws drop. Sometimes a person gets lucky–and the PERFECT comeback shoots out of one’s mouth almost without thinking.
–> During a parent/teacher conference at our son’s school, his teacher solemnly informed us: “I’m sorry to say that Dylan is having problems with three-letter words in the book at school.”
“But that’s impossible!” I heard myself quipping. “He knows every FOUR-LETTER WORD IN THE BOOK at home!”
