So "Dash" comes home from school and tells us he got in trouble for talking.

"What were you supposed to be doing?"

"Taking a test."

"Well you can't talk during a test. You might be cheating."

"Well we would NEVER do something like that!" (with a look that tells me he's amazed I would even think such a thing)

"You can't talk during a test."

"Well, she never told us that. But I've learned my lesson!"

OK, I'm sure his teacher probably never specifically said "don't talk during tests". I'm sure she thought the "no talking when you aren't supposed to be" rule would fit all situations. Besides, who has ever heard of taking a test the in kindergarten...in the first couple weeks nonetheless.

Wow, kindergarten is going to be very interesting!!!
