Jackson came home from second grade today and told me he learned that the whole huffing and puffing thing was just a terrible misunderstanding. The wolf had a cold, evidently, and sneezed really hard when he knocked on pig #1’s house for some sugar So hard, he said, that house fell on the pig, the pig died, and the wolf ate him. He had to in order to save the other two pigs from permanently scarring images of their little friend crushed and decomposed. Same thing happened at the second house – Wolf had really bad allergies, I guess, Jackson said.
“Well, what about the brick house?” I asked him. “No sneeze can blow down a wall of bricks.”
“Oh, that.” Jackson explained. “The third pig called the wolf’s grandma fat so he killed him.”
“That’ll teach him.”
“Yeah, you shouldn’t call people names. It’s really hurtful.”
Day two of grade two…it’s going to be a good year.
Oh my I am laughing so hard. Isn’t it what authority the teacher and others in their school life have on our kids. I have worked to teach my daughter that just becasue someone says something is true it still may not be so.
Now that’s putting a positive spin on the story. I actually like it. I’ll have to remember that for my grand kids
