Hutch68 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 My 6 year old boy came home from school a couple of days ago and as we always do have a chat about what he has been doing in school on that day. On that day he told me his teacher was holding up pictures and telling the kids what was on them, she held up one and said this is a ret. My lad said to her that's not a ret it's a rat..... ret rat ret rat and so it went on. I dropped him off myself this morning and the teacher pulled me aside and asked is this a ret or a rat? I told her it was a rat and she thanked me. Picked the lad up later and he said daddy she said it was a ret again today, she doesn't know does she? I said no.

robblok Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Maybe she does not want to say the word rat as it has some double meaning in Thai. (hippo and surely you know the other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I suppose you should be grateful that your boy wasn't punished for his insubordination. Remember the lad who got 99 whacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
