No Eyewitnesses

This is a bona-fide exchange between my second-grader and his teacher:
Teacher: Class, when you are coloring your dinosaurs, don’t use purple or blue.
Munchkin: But, why?
Teacher: Because there were no blue or purple dinosaurs.
Munchkin: But how would anyone know if there were no purple or blue dinosaurs if there was no one around to see them?
Teacher: Because…just…don’t color them blue or purple, OK?
Jesus Christ on a stick, what is with this school district and their issues with coloring? Coloring!
If only they put as much energy into addressing the kid in my son’s class (keep in mind this is 2nd grade) who still throws himself on the floor (in class!) during a tantrum, which apparently happens when he gets in trouble. Which is much too often for my comfort.
