My kid got kicked out of Vacation Bible School!

[sparkles2307]

We picked the boys up at daycare last night and my provider goes "Um, the teacher at VBS asked that Danno not come back. She thinks he's too young to grasp the purpose. (he just turned 4) They have 91 kids and not enough staff to chase the unruly ones around. I told her to call you but she wouldnt and asked me to talk to you."

At first I was offended, am I scary or something?

Then I was mad at Danno because he's such a little...well hes NOT a complacent child by any means!

So I asked tattle-tale happy older brother Lars "How naughty WAS Danno?" and Lars says "not really, he just wouldnt stop talking to his friends at story time."

So then I am angry at the staff. Then, after Danno tossing me some lip and attitude I decided toa ccept the decision they made and use it as an opportunity to teach him that there are consequences when we are naughty and that people dont like to be around you when you are being Tarzan on a Sugar High all day!

He was pretty accepting of it, and tries to understand.

Now its just funny, DH helps me to see the humor instead of Mother Bearing up to kill whomever hurts my cubs! Of all 91 kids it would be MINE, the one who calls McDonald's "Mac O'Donnel's" like its an Irish Pub or something, who got sent home, money and all, with a "please keep him with you! we cant take it!" lol

Oh my! I know it is really not funny, but.....

the way you put it I can't help but giggle! I had one like that once too! He is now 14 and just getting to the age where he knows it all again!

I have to say you are a better woman than me. I would probably have called someone and been less than nice. Give Danno a hug from us here at BYC!

That is just horrible and funny and so unbelievablelly true! I love it! Got kicked out of VBS!

I thought my youngest would get kicked out and I have done games at ours for like the past forever! That is great! Glad to hear you have accepted it! Pay? You gotta pay for VBS? that is a first for me

Hi,

Your post had me laughing so hard this morning. I remember once hearing an old tape recording of us kids. I must of been about 4 years old. On this tape I heard the most unruly little maniac, just horrible, and I asked my mom which one of us was that. She laughed that it was me! LOL

Such is the Fruit of the Might Tree!

Too sweet, thank you for sharing, I am sure you are only seeing the tip of the Universe reaching out to understand itself.

Goodluck, Ron

I never heard of having to pay either! But they charged $15 per kid or $30 per family!?! The kids get T-Shirts tho so it helps cover that I guess, but still, when I was a kid I went to some gnarly VBS camps and they were free...

Yeah well Danno has to be taken with a grain of salt. He is the cutest lil thing ever, very teeny for his age and not shy, with a twinkle in his eye and a hug and giggle for everyone... just before he toots on grandma's lap and runs away laughing, jumps off of the chairs at a funeral laughing, gives you "the eye" and does this "oh no you didnt" shake of the head any time he hears something he doesnt like...and then says "I'm so sorry momma" at the end of the day and rips ur heart out! He doesnt need/willnot have medications, I believe little boys should be allowed to be little boys, but being barely 4 hes entering the stage where he thinks he is right and mom is just a meanie head! He will grow out of it, Lars did and is now the Blessing of God child

For good ness sakes he is only 4. It seems to me they could have it a little better organized and with more helpers especially since they are actually charging people. Granted 91 kids are a lot of kids. Danno will probally be ready next year.

Now I'm actually worried. This is the first year "Peanut"(in the picture) will be able to attend VBS. I would not be surprised if he hit a kids, or eats their snack (which is highly possible) or calls the teacher a punk or tells them they wear "spiderman panties" (evidently the ultimate cut down for children who are potty training).

This so reminded me of my first experience at VBS when I was a kid. I actually remember the table we did arts and crafts on, the room, the smell...

I believe I was 5. We were working with matchsticks that had been burned. Glueing them together to do something...one of the older kids had me glueing them down into letters. I think I was barely getting the concept of spelling, but I knew my ABC's...he had me spell an especially naughty word that started with an "S". My mom got the call and then a sit and talk when she came to pick me up at the end of the day.

Here is Danno in all his glory, this picture captures his personality 110%

Dang cute but you can see that little bit of feisty in his eyes
