cactuspete: As a retired teacher I can say that I think you saw right through the mock outrage on this one. Obviously there was no harm intended and it's hard to say why the parent decided to twist things around and complain. On the other hand most classes contain a child with at least one crazy parent. That's why teachers have to be careful. You want to be friendly and joke around to develop rapport, but there's always someone who is more than eager to turn a fun and harmless joke into a major incident!
