Thank God he didn't say Jesus F'ing Christ like when you step on those damn things in the dark barefooted on your way to pee at 3 am. 

Shonna Coleman, from Mississippi, was told her son had said 'a bad word' during one of his lessons.

She later shared a written-up report on Facebook, which her little boy had brought home that afternoon.

The report, from Hope Sullivan Elementary School, was titled Parent Notice of Disciplinary Incident and explained what had happened.

It had a series of tick boxes with reasons why the notice had been sent and what action had been taken afterwards.

On Shonna's letter, the box 'Unacceptable Language' had been checked, meanwhile 'Had Conference With Student' and 'Telephoned Parent' was also ticked.

According to the report, the boy had said 'Jesus Christ' after he dropped his Lego on the floor.

He's not permitted to say the name in prayer or praise, either, I suspect.
