I would laugh behind closed doors, for sure. But, I think that the detention is fine, I wouldn't talk to the teacher about it or anything and I would tell my DC that I hope they learned a lesson from it. If it happened again, I would reinforce such lesson at home. It's all fine and good to say those things around your friends, not good to do it in school. The teacher has better things to do, kwim?
Well, I have a teenager, and I would seriously laugh at a teacher for thinking that was detention worthy. I would still make DS go to detention and just let him know to keep those kind of thoughts to himself.

Re: WWYD if your teenager got detention for this?
Have a conversation about what is and isn't appropriate talk for school.
That's not something you would say in a business meeting at work, right? School is a child's job....they should be taught that etiquette.
Then I would lock my bedroom door, show Joe and we would laugh our asses off!
OMG, this is so going to be my kid some day.
Two parents, w/out filters, who think inappropriate jokes are hilarious. My kids are doomed to getting detentions for stuff like this.
So yeah, we'd LOL and tell him he needs to learn when it's appropriate to make that particular joke.
Exactly.
I certainly wouldn't be mad at him or punish him any further...and we'd all have a good laugh about it together.
I'd say to enjoy the detention, because school isn't the place for vulgar comments like that.

LMAO. Jokingly... "Now Dalton, did we learn our lesson"?
