Re: Test Packets
"Dear Teacher:
I'm so sorry, I don't know where the test packets are. I asked Oldest about it but he didn't know. I will double check and make sure that we didn't overlook it. I'll be sure to get back to you soon."

Me: Where are they?
Hubby: I threw them away.
Me: What do you mean you threw them away?
Hubby: They are in the trash. I threw them away. I don't think I threw last week's away, but I know I threw yesterday's away. I didn't know she needed them.
Me: Did you even read it?! Did you see the section that says "Please sign and return tomorrow. Do you even know how he did on his tests?!"
Hubby: I saw some 100s.

Hehe. DH and I fight over who will check the school folders and sign them every night. I just know he will miss something and I will get a similar note from the teacher.
CLASSIC.
That is soooo something my DH would do...;)
