My 13yo had a field trip and needed a packed lunch but I only realized after he’d gotten to school. I offered to drop it off but he said no. I felt awful thinking of him being hungry but when he got home he said he’d rather be hungry than have me show up with his lunch. So… yay?

The teachers and other parents on this field trip are looking at me like they’ve never seen a chaperone order a beer at lunch before.

my favorite memory from this past school year was being a chaperone where i learned 9 year olds ask the most in-depth questions:
-can we get ice cream?
-can we go to the gift shop?
-can we ride the train again?
-can we go home yet?
-now is it ice cream time?— That Mom Tho (@mom_tho) June 16, 2022

Yes, I lost a kid while chaperoning my son's field trip, but to my credit, it wasn't the one who asked me if I was pregnant.

SON: If an aquarium has glass doors as soon as they close you become part of the exhibit and can charge people to look at you.
ME: I don’t think you’re learning the right things from field trips.— The Dad (@thedad) August 18, 2020
"To make him more popular with the ladies" is, apparently, the wrong thing to say when your child's field trip leader asks "Does anyone know why the lizard has a forked tongue?"

I'm at the point in my life where using physical money is a weird and unpleasant experience.

Accompanied 45 2nd graders on a field trip in an actual field. Hiked 5 miles in blazing sun. Got a thorn in my side, literally.
When cute little Kenny Sanchez crumpled in a heap & began crying, “I just want to go home & take a nap!” all I could do was hold him & say, “SHUT UP.”— Ms. Havisham (@MissHavisham) May 2, 2019

Teacher: Get on the bus we're late & you are a chaperone.
Me: [holding a 3 foot pixie stix] Did you know there was a gift shop?— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) May 2, 2017
My son is going on a 4-day field trip with his class. In other words, I paid $435 for peace & quiet.
Totally worth it.— Sarcastic Mommy (@sarcasticmommy4) October 15, 2015
I laugh every time I sign up to chaperone something because it's so fucking bizarre that I'm a grown up.

Today I went on a trip with my 10yo’s class and he started getting sassy with me to show off in front of his friends and so I threatened to hug and kiss him and he stopped right away and the fact that I can now use affection as a threat makes me feel unstoppable.

I took today off to chaperone my son's kindergarten field trip to the zoo.
Me: "Are you excited for today, bud?"
Tommy: "I'm excited for the zoo. I'm not excited that you're going to cringe me in front of my friends because you're old and you think you're funny."— The Daddy Files (@DaddyFiles) May 31, 2022
Giving up your time to chaperone a field trip= 4 hours. Finding out your kid is not the worst behaved in class= priceless.

Only the kids get to make bracelets?
I call bullshit on this field trip.— Northern Lights 🐸🐢🦎 (@PinkCamoTO) October 13, 2016
Chaperoned a kindergarten field trip. I even learned a few things. Example: kindergarten teachers should be paid 10 million dollars a year.
