hahaha you just made me bust out laughing!!! My husband is looking at me like I'm crazy!! I feel really bad for him. I can imagine that had to be horrifying.
Just an addendum, and this one is from husband, really. The opening of classes was in June and he came to class only in July, that's a month late. So that embarrassing moment in his first grade class is somewhat excusable. After 3 days of classes, my husband had learned how to write his name. Lo and behold, the teacher informed the class of a tour to the principal's office to show their work. So the pupils each got a clean sheet to write their names 5 times, in 5 lines of the paper. In the principal's office, it so happened that my husband caught the principal's fancy. He was asked to show his work to everyone. And my husband's paper showed the name Alex, that's his nickname, only that and nothing more. Their teacher was dismayed although the principal was amused.
