So I was checking over my 7 year old girl’s homework yesterday, the page where she had to use spelling words in complete sentences. Two of the words were WIFE and WIVES, as you’ll see.
And now I wonder if she’s been sneaking out of bed late at night to watch The L Word and Big Love. Just sayin’.
Now I just have to decide whether I should let it stand or have her change it. I’m sure her teacher would get a laugh. Right now I’m leaning toward leaving it alone, and adding a post-it to the page.
And, yes, I’ve explained the legal limitations on marrying more than one person. I held back from explaining what a colossal headache that would be.

LOL! Leave it alone – it will tickle the teacher to no end (I’m sure she’s seen worse).
Your daughter has great handwriting for a 7 year old; my 14 year old doesn’t have that good of penmanship.
I would definitely let it go… WITHOUT post-it note!
And be sure to save that one for her memory book when it makes its way back home!
You know you want to turn it in… Just see what happens… Go ahead, put it in her bookbag…go ahead..
BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh, I LOVE this! It seems she’s channeling all the dumbasses who think that if we “let the gays marry, then what’s next?! People will marry seven people – they’ll marry their TOASTERS!”
Don’t you LOVE the stuff kids come up with when they’re not bogged down by all the crap we have to think about?
ROFL! Oh, leave it, you know you want to. It’s grammatically correct, after all!
Oh, and how much do I love that she wrote that just from the perspective of not being encumbered by restricitive gender and social constraints? Her worldview is delightful.
AM LOL!
That’s AWESOME!
TOTALLY leave it as is.
Well, wait, one modification/addition: make her *name* her four wives.
I have rolled eyes more than once and left similar as is on my own daughter’s work.
Albeit…not as funny.
I think it’s great – neither violent nor profane. Go for it!
HRH brought his new Star Wars Lego Ship to school today – featuring Assassination Droids. Awesome mother.
A colossal headache, yes … but just think! The laundry would always be done! And the house would always be clean! I totally need four wives.
Cha Cha – You are right. Clearly, I wasn’t thinking it through!
So funny!! And what lovely handwriting!
Leave it. Teachers need a good laugh often.
hilarious. yes, one spouse is plenty.
Hi!
maybe that is what her teacher give them for homework?
And so???? Can’t wait to hear what the teacher said.
Don’t even add a post-it–teachers live for this stuff!
She turns it in tomorrow (Friday). Stay tuned!
I love the stuff kids write – social impropriety doesn’t really factor in, it was an easy sentence to write!
I have a dog, I have four dogs. See?
I have a zit, I have four zits.
I need a drink, I need four drinks.
And the possibilities are endless!
A writer in the making …
well you DO live awful close to Utah, don’t you? It could happen!
That’s adorable! I’d leave it too. In kindergarten, our oldest son once wrote, “I like balls. I like to play with my balls.” He went on, and on, and on… we sent it to school.
Leave it. People can use all the laughs they can get these days.
I signed her homework pack and sent it off this morning. Can’t wait to see if she says anything!
Well, there’s always a learning moment to be exploited, but this clearly isn’t that moment. She’s doing grammatical mathematics not logic.
omg, your kid kills me.
As a teacher and Big Love watcher, I recommend you ALWAYS leave things like this. We would have cracked up hysterically about it at lunch!!!
That’s worthy of being stuck to the fridge door. After it comes home with an A+. Or at least a B+ (for Bigamy).
Awesome. She may be a writer too…
I would leave it alone Jennifer….
