His teacher sent home a "red" note, meaning he was a bad boy that day. Typically, when these types of notes are sent home, it's the final result of a day of being a very bad boy...

You see, you start with a 'gold' status, then to green, blue, and finally red.

He was red.

He was supposed to have me sign the note so that the teacher knows we, as parents, are aware of the trouble he got himself into that day. It was a Friday... he had all weekend to give us this note to sign... he did not.

On Monday, I received a call from his teacher asking if I had known Alex had a red note, and if I had signed it. I told her I had no idea. She said he had signed my name in turquoise and red (not even purple)!

Ooooh, that boy is in trouble!!

I did the same thing when I was a child. Only problem was that I couldn't spell my last name in cursive so I only signed the name "Dan". Needless to say it didn't work

I used to be able to sign either one of my parent's signature, a short surname, pretty easy. My kids will do the same I'm sure,

I perfected both of my parents signature by the age of 13..

That's funny! Startin early.....

Go easy on him. He was probably scurred shitless to show the note. Let him know that he can talk about Anything..... anyways.....

My daughter forges my siggy at daycare when they need it when I am not around, oh, of coarse I know.

My 6 year old forged my initials in his school agenda book so I would not have to initial Friday , but still where the hell did he learn that?

When I was in school I perfected the art of forgery. Not only my mom's signature, but my friends' parents' signatures too. I had fairly "adult" looking cursive writing, even when I was much younger.

Yes, it was wrong. But I did (and do) justify what I did by the fact that our school had a [i]very[/i ] strict policy on absences, that didn't allow much room for leeway even if there was a perfectly reasonable excuse.

Gotta love him though ... sounds like this boy's got CHARACTER!

I did that shit all the time

I have all of you beat! I would never turn in anything with my mom's signature. Every note she gave me to turn in I would throw away and write it myself. My older sister taught me that one! Anyhoo, it came in handy in Jr. High School!. High School my mom made us write our own because she was too lazy to get up to do them! My son tried and was slammed! Not only does the boy have horrible writing he used a color that I despised trying to forge a note to go on a field trip and some other stuff. You have to give the boy points for trying! Maybe your family had something planned that he did not want to miss out on and just kept it to himself. My son trys that on a daily basis!

HA!

I was to scared to try that. In highschool, some of my friends...uh not really...would ask ceartin people to sign for them, so they showed the person a copy of their parents signature and they would try to copy it exactly.

In high school I, too, could sign my mothers name perfectly. We had really close handwriting anyway at the time. In fact, she would send me to the store to pick up things for her with her check book and she'd let me just sign her name. Of course, this was back in the days when you never had to show ID for anything.
I only signed her name when I wanted to get out of class or sign a permission slip here and there if I forgot to let her know about stuff. My parents wouldn't have cared anyway. They had a lot of trust in me.

So, we had this major conversation with him about this.

No more Playstation.

No more computer.

No more music.

Until further notice.

He was so sad... we also made him write an apology to his teacher.

(I did this in high school many, many times... he's in 2nd grade, man! )

He sounds like he's one step away from forging cheques and cracking safes.

p.s those skills could come in handy

Don't be so hard on the young lad. Hey he's learning at a young age. I didn't start signing my parents sig until the 7th grade..

He's obviously more talented than you!
