I got a call at home yesterday afternoon from the 13-year-old's school. It seems that C*dy was messing around with some friends in the hall, and he said something like, "Fuck no!" right as the assistant principal was walking by. So they call me and put him in all-day detention today. When the lady called me and explained what happened, I just said "okay" thinking it is a pretty stupid thing to put him in detention for all day but I know how these things are.
Then the lady says, "Do you want to talk to him?" Here I missed a chance. I told her I would just talk to him when he got home, but I should've asked for him. I would've told him to hold the phone away from his ear, then I could yell into the phone, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU STUPID FUCK?!? CUSSING IN SCHOOL? GODDAMN FUCKING IDIOT! FUCK!!!"
Then he could put the assistant principal back on, and I could very politely explain that I have no idea where he gets this from but I'm sure it will never happen again.
Probably better that I didn't. C*dy is getting to be subversive enough as it is without my encouraging it.
I almost forgot the best part, which was the note they sent home. In big all capital letters on the first line of the "your kid is in deep shit" form, it says, "C*dy said FUCK to another student." I guess they don't sugarcoat it on the forms, do they?

LOL I like your idea! All I ever do when I hear my kids cuss at school is say "I'm sure I didn't just hear an F-bomb, right?" They get the point, it keeps our relationship cool, and they get more careful... at least around me.
