Confessions

So, on Friday I picked K up from school. On the way home (that short two blocks), I asked her if she stayed on the green, and she said yes. Two days in a row she was in the yellow for disrupting class. She then told me that she did something today, and when I asked what it was she told me she wrote me a note so I would have to wait and read it.




Decoding the letter...

Dear Mom:

I kissed Daylon today and I got in trouble. It was a bad choice. I talked to the principal. I won't do it again.

Love Kirby
To: Mom


What????
Shock....Awe...Disbelief

I talked with her a bit and she here are a few things she said

"it wasn't like I kissed him on the lips or anything, I kissed him on the leg (while pointing to her HIP of all places) and on the arm."

"Ellie does it" (We are not talking about Ellie here)

"the principal told me when I have a boyfriend and I'm eighteen I can kiss him."

The playground used to have a wooden play house that a friend told me that last year first graders were hiding and kissing in it. (It was torn down last year most likely because ot was old and rickety but the kissing probably didn't help save it.) I'm sure my thoughts and words were probably similar to this. "Tsk Tsk, where are those kids learning this behavior. What are parents teaching their kids these days." All the while holding my nose up thinking My daughter would never do anything like this...

Then the real kicker, they weren't hiding anywhere on the playground. They were in class on the carpet during story time or something similar.

While I was reading the note, Kimber happened to be downstairs and read it with raised eyebrows. She then proceded to go up and tell grandma and great-grandma. They got a great laugh out of this, especially when I told them where she kissed ON him.

A bit later, I called daddy to give him a heads up. He kind of chuckled and said "It's probably just innocent". When he got home from work, he said "I know mom already talked to you so I won't say a lot, but we don't kiss boys."

She did say she was embarrassed and so was Daylon (sometime around the Halloween party she had admitted to me that she loves him). I hope that it was embarrassing enough to not do it anymore.

When she showed me where she kissed him, all I could think of was "What are people (ie Ms H, Ms M the principal, etc.) going to think of me?" (Because I'm insecure like that, and I thought that of the parents of the 1st graders last year.) I am praying this was just an innocent, isolated incident. We don't need to be worrying about such stuff yet. She's only 6!

What to do......
