His teacher interrupted him telling him that, "his daddy was telling a bit of a fib as there were no scorpions in Australia". Needless to say he came home from school very upset that his teacher had called me a liar, I promptly went down the back paddock, rolled the bark off a couple of logs and caught 3 live scorpions. These were sent to school the next day, sealed in a jar, to show the teacher what an ignorant f*ckwit they were. Instead of admitting that they were an idiot with no idea and apologising to my son, we got a reprimand from the school for sending "dangerous" animals to school. We removed him from that school.
