Appropriate...or not?

Captain C just read his IEW paper to me that is due on Monday. It is about the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. Background: Goodman John Howland falls over board and then here is the part in question:

"Luckily for him, some sailors noticed and somehow quit laughing long enough to help him up. They sprinted over to a nearby hook and used it to grab him but accidentally grabbed his underwear. He probably had never been more grateful for a wedgie in his life. Goodman Howland was also very thankful to be back on the boat again. He thanked the people for the wedgie and wobbled to the lower deck to readjust his underwear."

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't appropriate in the classical Christian community we are in...and that I lead. Yikes. Looks like he will be readjusting his paper this week.

  4. My thoughts are that if I let this slide this week, then next week kid2 will try to "up" the funniness and the next week you have kid 3, 4, and 5 trying to one up the last guy and it just gets ugly. Big T thinks they have to use MORE creativity to one up each other and I should let it go. I just know kids don't have the sense to stop while they are ahead and one kid is going to push it too far and be embarrassed in class...so C should rewrite this paragraph. Thoughts?

  5. hahaha. That is very funny, very creative.

    I have to agree with you though. Your thinking about why he should rewrite it makes total sense.
