Jacob came home the first day of school and informed us that there is another Jacob in his class, also with a last name starting with "M". So he told the teacher to call him "JOE". I thought he was joking, he told me he seriously said he wanted to be called JOE. We didn't think much about it, since we haven't heard anything about it....until last night.
Jacob had Open House at his school last night and we did the rounds of meeting his teachers. When we got to his math class the teacher said "Hi Joe", (in total seriousness, there was no joking there). We had a small conversation and after she seemed somewhat confused by the fact that Jacob has chosen to be called "JOE" or maybe she was embarrased, I'm not sure. He considers it a nick-name, and the whole Math class calls him "JOE". (I can see JAKE, but JOE) I'm not sure which side of the family would like to take credit for his sense of humor. But hopefully his teacher will grow to appreciate it as much as we do.
