1. Ouch. Who needs a Therapist more after that one?

2. Heh.

   Well your child is an excellent colorer. And the grammar and penmanship are impressive for a 1st grader. You must be doing something right.

5. I love that he had fun even though you never came. Awesome.

6. The joy of seeing how your son’s mind works has got to make up for every early morning or dirty diaper you ever had to deal with. Worst Parent Ever or not, you must have done something right!

7. I suggest you just walk over to the nearest Child Protection Agency and turn yourself in. No sense in trying to avoid them after your son’s teacher got a sense of how evil you really are.

8. My wife works in Primary and substitute teaches in elementary schools tells me kids say embarassing things about their parents constantly. Like the Bishopric counselors kids saying “My parents fight all the time.”

   It makes me fear what my five little darlings are sharing.

9. My daughter told her preschool teacher that her daddy had packed himself a bag and no longer lives with her or her mom.

   I was on a business trip!

10. Laughing Out Loud.

    That’s just poetic in its straightforwardness!

11. Lol, I saw the title and thought this was going to be a post about Lost. Anyway, I think it must be a sign of something positive that he was able to have fun even while waiting for a long time.

13. Well, thanks for those of you who were able to find a silver lining in this otherwise dark cloud. Every time I read it I can’t believe the comedic genius of the last “it was fun” as the setup for the crushing final sentence. Jack Handy has nothing on that delivery.

14. This reminds me of when I was nursery leader! There are no secrets. Has anyone called Child Protective Services yet?

15. Tragic comedy! I love it.

16. That, my friend, is priceless. I hope that you don’t feel too bad. I think he’ll get over it, by the time he’s forty or so.

17. When Art Linkletter hosted the original (and only funny) “Kids Say the Darndest Things”, he once asked the kids, “What did your mommy (or daddy) tell you NOT to say today?”

    I haven’t laughed as hard at anything since then. This came close.

18. Excellent! What are the chances of getting your son to guest post more regularly?

19. He really does have great penmanship, probably better than mine, and his coloring abilities are great. It’s probably because he colors and writes a lot while he’s waiting for you to fulfill your promises.

    Just kidding!

    One thing I know, now that I’m primary chorister the sunbeams can really give up some great info on their parents. I just had one tell me all about her mother’s trials with nursing and how her new baby brother’s pee pee really hurt.

20. It is to laugh. Thanks for sharing that, it made my day.
