My son was 7 when he took his first knife to school. Memories...
seriously though, he WAS 7 and he took his grandfather's little swiss army knife to school - as 7 year-olds are won't to do. He got a 10 suspension with an expulsion hearing. this was back in, oh, '98.
He served the 10 days happy as a clam, loved every minute of it and taunted his cousins with, "Have fun in school, SUCKERS!" every morning.
He always enjoyed speech therapy class, too. Got him out of regular class. I think he purposely prolonged his lazy R's just so he could go to therapy.
