We work with young children and every once in a while they surprise us.
This little man is very stoic and serious. He has huge green eyes and they seem very wise, holding all the secrets of the world.
As he was playing, he found something in his pocket. He struggled to get it out for a few seconds and then proudly produced it from his little pocket …a bright green packaged Trojan condom.
The teachers fell out laughing. They gently retrieved his contraband and brought it to us. It gave us one of the best giggles, possibly ever. A funny aside is one of the teachers projected Joey Tribbiani onto him with a “How YOU doin?” A few comments were made along the line of always be prepared.
Now, keep in mind that this serious little man’s mother is extremely shy and demure. Of all the people to have this happen to!
At the end of the day, we caught her and explained what her son had brought into school. She died a thousand deaths as we showed her his contraband. Imagine her horror, dismay, and amusement as she saw what her darling boy had brought to school to share.
Her face was the color of Santa’s suit and I was afraid she was going to need oxygen. In fact, days later, she can barely look us in the eyes.
Gotta watch out for those little ones. Never know what they are going to put into their pockets!
