Signs of Summer

Sign posted near the sign-in sheet in Logan's class today:

Parents
Summer has begun.
Please take home your children's coats.

This sign was not meant to be funny, but it's the kind of thing that just sounds sarcastic even though Logan's sweet teacher does not seem to have a sarcastic bone in her body. I cracked up when I read it.

The undertone is something along the lines of "Parents: Your child does not need her parka on the playground when it's 90 degrees. The only current use of the parkas and sweaters hanging on the hooks near our cubbies is for your children to pull them down, erect Mount Parka in the middle of the classroom, and then jump on top of them--all activities thoroughly unsanctioned by our bylaws. Seriously...put them in storage."

And for the record, Logan's parka and winter sweater are ensconced in our hall closet so I'm not a perpetrator and therefore have a right to crack up.

Here's the thing: What exactly is the problem with the Mt Parka deal? No real difference with jumping on piles of leaves. Sheeesh!
