Ding Dong! Oh Hello, CPS is That You?

For the past 11 months I have been waiting for the day Child Protective Services shows up at my door because I have been neglecting my motherly duties because of all my new...er... Twilight duties. Well, if it didn't happen before I am quite frightened it most certainly will happen now.

Let me give you a little back story...my little ones are in 1st grade this year and their teacher is a Stick-In-The-Mud, No Sense of Humor, Corn Cob Permanently Stuck Up Her Ass, Arthritic, Non Smiling (I'm not even sure she knows what the emotion of "happiness is") type of an educator....

So the day before Christmas break the girls bring home all their Christmas Crafts, and in the pile are the cards they made for me and dh. We each got separate cards. Dh's card is all cute with a little gingerbread man and they wrote "Merry Christmas Daddy, you are a good boy" "Ho Ho Ho"...blah blah blah... Mine however was this:


Yes, you are seeing that right...that is a Vampire Gingerbread man with blood dripping down his face and a picture of Edward beside it.

So I am thinking..."Shit!"...but ok, surely the teacher will just forget about it and think this was a one time occurrence and my kids are just weird.

But NO, I couldn't get THAT lucky! Yesterday...the girls bring home this little masterpiece for me:




Yeah---it says "EAT YOUR BLUD"... Great!

So now I am thinking WONDERFUL, now she probably thinks we are a bunch of weirdo's and sacrifice animals and shit as I am positive she isn't a closet Twilover!

I would bet money the first thing she did after my kids left school yesterday was call someone to tattle on me. I can just hear the conversation now:

"CPS, How May I help you?"

"Yes, This is Mrs. Cob and we have an emergency!"

"Oh No, What is wrong?"

"I have two children in my class that are in mortal danger! Their mother is a vampire loving freak"

"Vampire you say? What type? The kind that burn to a crisp upon entering the sunlight, or the pretty sparkly kind"

"What do you mean? Are you telling me there are different kinds? And does it matter"

My only hope now is that the people at CPS are understanding and perhaps one of them fuckers has read the books and is just as obsessed as me....and appreciates good art when they see it!

Yeah-these pictures are getting framed!

  2. I love it. The little ones are so open to fiction. A vampire that sucks blood doesn't seem any stranger to them than a crab that has a whale for a daughter.

  3. I have tears streaming down my face right now...trying not to snort out loud. Your kidlets are awesome. I absolutely love the gingerbread vampire. Perfect! They really love you! You should have given the teacher a copy of Twilight for Christmas, heh.

  5. Okay, this just happened to me this week. My daughter comes home and tells me that her teacher told her to stop reading. I ask why and she tells me that it's because she's reading Vittorio (Anne Rice). The girl is in 4th grade and pulled from my library. Um... So then she said the teacher asked if I knew that she was reading that and she said, "yes". WHAT? Blame me? I did not let her read that! I'm sure that her teacher thinks I'm a bad mother that lets her baby read Adult Vampire books.

    BTW, your story is hilarious and I love what your kiddies made. Come on! That's awesome! They sound adorable.

  6. Your kids rock!

    Don't worry. I'm sure Mrs. Stickupherass has seen much worse. Some kid in my son's class drew a swastika in a note to him. We don't play with that kid anymore.

    I'll take vampires over Nazis any day!

  7. LMAO!!! HAH! Frickin' kids always blowing our cover...

    If the teacher asks you tell her they got it from watching sesame street, and if she was a better teacher they would have spelled blood right. LOLOL!!!

  8. I have visited here frequently, but this post has me commenting for the first time!
    I say your kids are fucking brilliant and talented, not to mention so thoughtful it makes me wanna jerk a tear! They made you shit that they KNEW would really mean something to you...priceless.
    I agree w/ Mrs. P...even Sesame Street has a fucking vampire, and that show is likely a better educater. *flips bird to mrs. cobuppthebutt*
    Love this post! Coming from a mom of 2 little ones...and my 2yr old can identify Edward and or Bella from fifty paces. Please don't turn me in.
    That is all...for now.

  10. OMG! You ladies totally rock! And yes, I agree it is better than Anne Rice or a swastika (shit the twins are only 6, if they were reading Anne Rice I might think they were gifted or something..LOL) and I thought the same thing...what kind of teacher doesn't teach the kids how to spell "blood" right!?! LMAO!!
