Yesterday morning I was giving my son some medicine when I accidentally bumped his head on a kitchen cabinet. Without even thinking I said, “Bonk!”
My son laughed. So I tickled him a little and said, “You’re bonkers!” He laughed even harder.
Then I remembered where we would be fifteen minutes later and I said, “By the way, when we get to school you can’t go around calling people bonkers. I was being silly, but it wouldn’t be nice to say that to your classmates.”
To which he replied, “Okay. I’ll just call them crackers.”

great comeback! i love how you were worried that he would go around school saying that all day. i would never have even thought to warn him not too. guess it’s a good thing i’m not a mom. 🙂

Weaselmomma
That was a good laugh, and I’m a total cracker!

don’t worry, one day he’ll move on up.
i remember i had to sit in the corner one day in first grade because i told a very good friend she was a purple people eater, and i really was just being silly with her. years later i realized that the teacher may have thought i was being racist towards my friend, last name ‘chu’. i’d like to go find that teacher and punch her, but she’s probably dead now.
i have thought about that way too much, haven’t i…

Oof! What do you say then, “No, no, it’s OK, call them bonkers!”??

You should keep a notebook of all the hilarious things your son says. It could be a best seller. He cracks me up.

Jamie
So funny! Let us know when you get a call from the school!
Melissa
OMG, sounds like the conversation I was having with the 6 year old the other day…you should never teach your kid what SOL or STFU means right before you put them on the bus…just sayin’…
Jaina
LMAO. He would.

That kills me.

Ah, bonkers isn’t so bad. I did a spit take on that!
And speaking as an ‘accidental cracker’ (I grew up in SE Virginia), I would have rather been called bonkers!
I’d buy your son a beer, but well, he’s too young. Can I buy you a beer?
Captain Dumbass
Ah, I’ve had this conversation. Only mine is why it’s ok to call daddy fat and laugh but not ok to call mommy fat. Or anybody else who is not daddy.
Rhea
haha Cute conversation. We have all kinds of talks about what’s ok to say at home and NOT AT SCHOOL. SOOOOOO Many of those talks. It’s scary.
Tara R.
