My son has always had a knack for jokes that almost no one else would catch. One year when he signed up for 4-H he marked Eskimo as his ethnicity. He regularly told other kids on the bus that his name was something other than James. He kept up that one for at least 6 months. No telling what tales he told his teachers to get out of work.
At the end of his senior year, he brought home his yearbook. When my wife was looking through it, she found his picture with the list of his accomplishments. He had been in band for 4 years and that was listed. The standout was that it indicated he had participated in Special Olympics for 4 years. My children attended an academic magnet school that typically didn’t have many students that would participate in the Special Olympics. The school didn’t send teams to the Special Olympics so he would have had to do this on his own. When we questioned him about it, he said he put it down as a joke and expected someone to take it out. If they noticed it, they probably didn’t want to question him about it for fear of offending him. My wife is a special education teacher and has taken kids to the Special Olympics. People at the school who knew my wife might have thought that he put it down as helping her.
