So, I just got a call from Owen’s school.
School: Hi, this is ___ from Excel. We just wanted to give you a courtesy call to let you know there was an incident at school today.
Me: /my mind is racing/ Okay. What happened?
School: Owen got peed on in the bathroom.
Me: /immediate outburst of laughter/
School: /quiet, nervous laughing/ I’m sorry, I’m not laughing at it, but I’m laughing because you are. I was SO nervous to call and tell you.
Me: /still laughing/ I was expecting him to have barfed or pooped himself or broken an arm.
School: I’m glad you have a sense of humor about it.
Me: Ha! Getting peed on is the least of my worries of Owen at school.
She tells me they’ve talked to both kids, are getting two different stories (of course!), and she just didn’t want me to freak out when I saw him in different clothes and the teacher told me what happened. Of course she couldn’t tell me who the other kid was, but I know the teacher will—that’s partially why I ply her with bottles of wine and classroom equipment throughout the year. 🙂
I just thought it was hilarious. And of course I had to call Tom to tell him and he busted up laughing, too.
I needed that. 🙂
So, what did Owen have to say about it? Was he upset?
