Thread: My daughters school morning talks

I have another one. The boy has a bullet (empty cases) collection much like his old man had back in the day. He likes the shinny brass and it appeals to his hording instincts. The prime item in the collection is a couple of 25mm cannon cases that my mate in the army gave him.

Anyhow hes off to school one day and mum says "why are your pockets clanking?". A short discussion reveals a dozen empty cases intended for the morning talk. Spotting a potential issue in this pc day and age mum makes him give them to the teacher, show them at morning talk and then back to the teachers desk for the rest of the day.

The young teacher lass had some wide eyes when the cases where handed over. I am not sure if she was clued up enough to realize that I didn't actually have a APC with 25mm cannon back at home but the school reports have been good so far anyhow.

I was relating this tale to the wife of one of my dad's hunting buddies. She said thats nothing. My boy took his Dad's pistol to school one day. What happened I said. Nothing, the school rang home and asked hubby to pick his pistol up. Times have changed since then I suspect.
