I just received a call from the 8th grade principal of my sons school. He started off saying it was a delicate matter and that another parent called him and was very upset. The rumor going around the school was that a 8th grade girl performed fellatio on an 8th grade boy.
The rumor started by the 8th grade boy telling my son this happened at a basketball game. My son then went and told one of his friends and then the rumor spiraled out of control until it reached the 8th grade girls mom. Needless to say the mom of the 8th grade girl was livid. The principle called me and told me he was trying to get to the bottom of this as far as trying to find out who started this whole "mess".
He questioned the 8th grade boy who told him he did not tell my son the girl was going to perform fellatio on him. He said he told my son the girl was going to give him a kiss. The principal then questioned my son who told him "that was different" as far as the answer the 8th grade boy gave the principal. My son then went on and told the principal the 8th grade boy sent him a text message saying the fellatio part. My son also told him he didn't know if he had deleted the message from his phone. The principal wanted my permission to see if he could retrieve the message from my sons phone.
It all ended well (at least for me and my son) because the 8th grade boy did finally confess and say he did tell my son that about the 8th grade girl. The most surprising thing about this to me was how, at such a young age, kids can distort and spread rumors. I am angry with my son for telling anyone something like that.
I am curious about one thing. The principal asked my son which parent he wanted him to call his mom or his dad. He chose me (his dad) I am writing this while at work and I have not had a chance to talk with him about this yet, and he most assuredly knows he will get a good talking to when I get home. Now I'm curious about what else my winged angel, halo wearing son is doing once he leaves the comfort of his home. WHAT'S NEXT!!!!
