Teaching first grade can be tough. Knowing this, my father-in-law sent me a joke to keep me smiling. He did not say where it was from so I will just put it here. . . thanks to whoever wrote it.

My six-year-old was having a tough time adjusting to first grade. At least twice a week, I received a note from his teacher outlining his latest infraction. Finally, I sat him down and laid it on the line. "I don't want any more notes from your teacher!" "All right, Mom," he said. "Are you going to tell her, or do you want me to?"
