"When the principal calls to tell you that your son has made her day, so you get excited for the good news... Only to find out that the faculty has discovered a dead squirrel in his backpack (yeah, that 50 dollar Pottery Barn backpack). When asked by the principal what possessed him to pick up this dead squirrel and store it in his backpack, my son replies with 'I really wanted squirrel dumplings for dinner tonight.' Then, she asks if I actually want the squirrel to come home with him. Y'all, I had to explain that we are from the country, but we're not THAT country. (Sorry if any of you actually eat squirrel dumplings - I don't mean that to be offensive). She said 'it looked so peaceful lying there in his bag,' then sent me this picture..."
Hobson said her son, Brylan, apparently thought his father was serious when he repeatedly joked about making "squirrel dumplings" for dinner.
The mother said in a blog post that Brylan came home in tears and apologized profusely, but she decided "he gets a free pass on this one."
"I can't even be mad at this point. He has made the principal's day, after all," she wrote.
