This was funny to me today! I sent a note to the office with my late little student today that read, "Please give Keith a tardy slip and maybe have him wash up from his fishing day? :)"
The secretary came all the way down the hill to my classroom (the school is built on a terraced hillside, so it's no quick walk to get there and there is no phone/intercom system). With a smile she said, "Diantha, I'm not sure what your note means. What exactly is a 'tardy slip?' And what do you mean by, 'wash up?'" We just laughed together, and I told her, "Welcome to my world!" Apparently the term would be "late note" and "clean your hands and face in the toilet (bathroom)." Okay!
Do you suppose the girls giggle whenever I come into the office and ask for phone numbers, office supplies and photo copying paper??!
