Aaron and I had a meeting with some teachers at the boy's school yesterday. The meeting was in regards to Stephen and beginning some speech therapy. (Yes, they are going to try and teach him to speak so that he no longer lisps-and yes, honestly, I am a bit saddened by this.)
While we were sitting and waiting for all of the members of the meeting to gather, we overheard the principal tell his secretary that 3-4 fourth grade boys would be coming in to see him. Yep, you guessed it, one of those boys was Alex. Oh boy, was he surprised to see his parents sitting in the waiting area of the office.
While in the meeting for Stephen, we had a chance to speak to the principal. He assured us that nothing earth shattering had happened. It was interesting to watch his reaction to finding out that we are the parents of one of the students he was disciplining. He found it very interesting and funny.
After our meeting, (Alex was already back in his class) we talked more with the principal. He shared with us what had happened and how he handled it. Like he said, nothing earth shattering. However, he did tell us that he had pulled Alex aside to ask if he knew who was in the office, to which Alex timidly responded "My parents." The principal hugged him and told him that everything was fine then sent him back to class. As he was telling us, you could definitely tell that the irony of the situation was apparent to him as well. He got a huge kick out of the situation. So did we. We laughed about it for quite a while last night, in fact, I'm still laughing today. Oh the irony...
