I went to the elementary school to register Neil for kindergarten. Some background first. When we moved here, our neighbourhood school didnt have space for Avasha. So we were given the option of having Avasha in one school and being placed on the waiting list for 1st grade and Ashwina in a different school which is the lowest ranked school in the district(LRS). Or I could have both girls in the LRS school and change if and when a spot became available for Avasha. Obviously no one moved and we are still in the LRS school. But I cannot register Neil at LRS school, I would have to go to my neighbourhood school. I had gone on Friday to pick up the forms with all 4 kids. The boys were running around in the office and the secretary remembered me and asked where the rest of the kids were because I came in with only Samar today.
As I was walking to the office, I noticed a *you guessed it* a condom lying right in the middle of the school’s parking lot.
Secretary: Oh you brought everything.Good
Me:Before we start, I need to tell you something. There is a condom lying in your school’s parking lot.
Sec: What. Eww gross. Let me go tell the principal
The principal comes.
He says, we have found beer bottles but this is a a first.
I then asked, Didnt anyone else say anything. Its lying right in the middle of the road. Okay maybe it wasnt a condom, maybe it was something else.
Sec: yeah well, course she wouldnt know what a condom looks like. She has 4 kids.
I burst out laughing. The principal is embarrassed. He then says, okay I definitely would know what one looks like. let me go check
I say, okay I will walk to it. I want to take a picture of it. I write ablog and want to blog abt this.
No No, you cannot name the school were principal’s next words.
Dont worry I wouldnt said me.
He then grabs a huge bag and we walk out. I showed it to him. And he swoops it up before I could click a picture.
We walk back to the office and he tells me, This isn’t on the list of duties for a principal.
I finish up my stuff with the Secretary. You know the principal isnt going to forget you.
I said. will you put my children as a priority for the school then?
She laughs and says no promises. I called NK as I was driving back home and told him the story. He thought it was funny as well. Then he asked why didnt the principal ask the janitor to do it?
all kinda of funny.
Me: I know. I though it was riot.
Hmm… you get all this flak even after the Octuplet Mom? I thought things would have been a bit easier after Nadia.
Me: You know,I took it very lightly because the sec has 4 kids herself. She was telling me a story about a hotel check in and her kids were crying and all. SO maybe it didnt feel offensive to me. But I was thinking if someone else said it, would I have taken it as lightly.
LMAO!
Beer bottles and condoms in elementary school parking??? maybe it was the principal’s condom, LOL
Me: hehehe
Not only make out it seems
))
Do they do sex education in elementary school?
Me: I dont think they do. I know Ashwina hasnt had one yet. The school’s parking lot is open to the public. It is backed to the hills so I assume teenagers come and make out maybe?
hahahaha!! d principal must have been embarrassed by his ‘extra curricular activities’ in school!
Me: I think he was more embarrassed by us two laughing like school kids over a condom.
know something – you handle it all with so much ease. am in awe.
Really no sex ed at 10? Strange. Right? Or is it?
I got mine at 11 from mom.
Me: When I was pregnant with Samar, we got her a Book which talks about sex and pregnancy very matter of factly. I have also told her about periods and such but as far as I know someone hasnt from the Kotex company to give a free sample or anything like that
that was funny, all right!
i’m surethat principal’s never gonna forget you…:)
lol.. yeah you are not going to be forgotten girl
Really funny
)
But did your kid the admission?
Me: I dont know. Fingers crossed that all 3 get to the this school. I will find out in May/June.
I know it’s your kids school and all but this is flat-out hilarious.
If the principal picked it up without a glove, the condom was his. Or, he was still drunk from the beer he drank that morning in the lot before school started and didn’t care.
Me:He didnt wear aglove. He just put the bag over his hand and picked it up. rofl at him being drunk
Or we can say the secretary and the principal….
Me: I have to mention the other part.. So the sec asks me..was there anything slimly in the condom. I said no I dont think so. her reply, Good at least someone wasnt having that much fun. And we started laughing out loud again. The whole thing was so funny.
…And that’s what the principal told me in the men’s locker room this morning.
Must be a really involved principal. I think you need to start showering the principal and secretaries with gifts. This is my plan to get Claire enrolled with the best teacher. Just kidding…sort of
Me: I am just going to threatened him with the fact that I will reveal the name of the school to the Internet.
So from the title I thought one of your kids asked you that…LOL.
Thank goodness you reported it. SO GROSS. And wrong.
I still vividly recall the first time I saw a condom…age 10, park in Delhi, playing cricket…provocative packaging…and it was used. (*puke*)
Me: That’s Ashwina’s age. I dont think I would want to explain it to her.
I hope my kid learns about this in a book or in school in an educational fashion…but you can’t ever control.
Me: Nope..some things are out of our control.
I’m going to ask a very obvious question – pardon my denseness – was it used ? ewwwwwwwww…..
and the principal *touched* it ? I mean even with a plastic bag .. ewwwwwwwwww
Priya.
Me: I didnt see anything slimy in it. And nope no glove, just a bag over the hand like one would pick up dog’s poop.
