Teachers have been sharing the craziest family lore dropped by kids – 17 TMI tales unexpectedly shared in the classroom

Thanks to their complete lack of a filter, children are notorious for saying things that adults would never dream of.

So you’ve got to feel for the people who are at the coal face of their youthful oversharing: teachers. They have to carefully navigate some wild stories, as shown in the response to this question set by Loud_Bluejay_6663:

‘Teachers. What’s the craziest family lore a child has randomly dropped on you?’

Here are the best replies that at least get top marks for honesty…

‘A 2nd grader: “My mom said that once my dad learns a few things, he might come home but right now he’s in “time out” for adults because he messed up REALLY bad and the judge said he gets a BIG time out. He doesn’t have to stay in a chair though, he gets a room.”‘

‘Teachers of young children keep a lot of secrets. My colleague in kindergarten once had a little guy bring a dildo to school. He was waving it around saying, ‘It’s a light sabre. ZING! ZING!’ I was a new teacher at the time and I asked, ‘what do you do when something like that happens?’ She said, ‘I told him to take it home and sneak it back into his mommy’s room and he wouldn’t get in trouble.’ I questioned that. Should we tell a kid to keep a secret from his parents?? This teacher had been teaching for a long time. She explained her reasoning. ‘This boy’s in kindergarten. His parents have a lot of years of parent teacher conferences and concerts and what not coming up, and if his mother knows about this, I doubt we will ever see her at one of them.’’
