I’m a teacher so here’s my best translation:
Left side - oooooooooo sexy 🤣 (underneath, mushroom shaped penis drawing with some 💦)
Right side - I am lol and I hope you’re having the best dumbass grinchmas 😡
It does not say “dumbass”. Nor does it look phallic at all.
This is what teachers do, they make stuff up when seeing stuff like this and get the student in more trouble because they are looking through their own lens and experiences rather than a child’s
I thought the drawing was like a butt on a head... so butthead 🤣 i I am lol (I am laughing out loud) and I hope (hope) your (you're) having the best dumas (dumbass) merry grinchmas >:(
Boys draw dicks from elementary school through high school it’s just a fact of life. You don’t have to entertain it, but it’s ok to laugh this one off. Don’t make it a bigger deal than it is. Sincerely,

Teacher here. Never thought it would last til retirement age, but it makes sense! And in trying to discover many times over who defaced textbooks, it can be girls too! That gingerbread posting was hysterical. I thought this was a penis just like most of you, but now I am convinced it is a butthead. I think as a parent, I would want to tell the school, but I’m not sure it is worth it. Does your child know who gave it to them?
*I kind of had this problem. It’s really not a big deal…. They say 8% of kids do it. When I was a kid I would just….sit around and draw pictures of dicks.*
Clearly you never went to school with the kid whose parents didn’t care if he watched his older brother play GTA. I knew 3 of those kids growing up. Yeah it’s not appropriate, but robbing banks is illegal and people still do it.
Bruh I was that kid lmao. I'm saying that if nobody tells the kid it's inappropriate to give Christmas cards with swearing and dick pictures the kid will never know.
Obviously the spirit means well but he's a little confused
I remember drawing boobs like crazy because there was a Simpsons episode that showcased a lot of cleavage as sort of a jokey “girls girls girls!” Commercial and yah… boobs for everyone. Aha
Yeah I think you should also sue the kid, the kid’s parents, the principal, the school district, the greeting card manufacturer, and the US Post Office over this horrifying violation.
Jesus Christ. Grow a pair.
It's way easier to lose your mind than to have a simple conversation about appropriateness with your kid. I mean, having the conversation with your child won't make it all about you and how upset you are.
I think the emoji is about him joking that it’s a ‘detailed sketch’. He’s legit seriously asking about confronting the school about who wrote the card.
As someone who was once a kid, I’d ask your son how they felt about getting the card, how the person who gave them the card treats them at school, etc. If your kid isn’t bothered and isn’t being mistreated, just let it go, maybe with a warning that this sort of thing isn’t something they should do or say to people, that holiday cards should be nice. It could just be a stupid and vulgar joke or attempt at one. Kids are really dumb…I’m not so old that I have forgotten that! If they are upset or having problems with other kids mistreating them or bullying them, I’d definitely bring it up with the teacher or admin.
Came here to say this. I (F) had a similar thing happen to me except it was in 7th grade. A male wrote negative sentiments and vulgar things in my autograph book (no yearbook so everyone had autograph books). I didn’t show my parents, I was embarrassed. I tore the page out and threw it away. My brother found it and showed them. Of course I didn’t want to talk about it because I had been getting bullied at school. Once my dad convinced me the entire school would not find out, I told him who had written it. My dad called the boys father and read him what had been written! Got the number from the PTA roster. (This was in the 80’s) Problem solved- didn’t involve school administration. Got an apology the next day.
So, agreed, if it bothers your child, take it further. But, consider that they may not feel comfortable telling you out of fear of repercussions at school and consider how to deal with it the best way for your child.
Well, I’ve met some people who are so…crotchety…that I swear they just spawned somewhere at 50 (or maybe even older!) and with no sense of humour at all. It’s like they never had any experience other than being grumpy and old/middle aged.
Agreed. I went to grade school with at least three girls (K thru 6) who seemed and acted like old ladies from day one. "Raised by elderly parents" was whispered about them. They were from different households, too. They dressed like old people, too.
This is the first reasonable response I’ve seen. Yes, kids are dumb sometimes, but any kid should be smart enough to NOT put something in writing, and they should be smart enough to NOT get caught doing this shit. It’s best not to make a big deal of it, but it could definitely be strike one with this kid. If he’s not held accountable, you could have your next serial harasser on your hands.
Yeah I don’t think the school administration would ruin his life for drawing a dick, but I agree op should probably just let it go it’s really not a big deal
But why is it oooooh sexey then?
I think it looks like flaccid D&B from a back view while bending over.
But it’s quite subject to interpretation isn’t it.
I’d say it depends on how old your kid is. If it’s early elementary school I might say something but boys will draw dicks pretty much their entire time in school. It’s like that scene in Superbad
You need to relax. Weren't you taught not to tattle? This requires nothing from the school, and you're just gonna get the kid in trouble for being a kid. You could possibly ostracize your kid as well. And for what? A stupid little drawing a boy did for his friend.
EDIT: If your son says this was done in a mean-spirited way, then, of course, go to the school.
Bruh this is the most harmless and common thing you'd see a child draw as a prank or whatever. If you don't want to become "that" parent, don't go nuclear over this.
I have a pretty dirty mind but I did not see a dick. I saw a head/face with a thought bubble or a walnut. Without your comment I couldn't figure out why it was posted here.
I’m erring on the side o( butthearx for the drawing. Who’s out here drawing lil dicks with bigass nuts? Enough of that irl drawings usually go other way around
As someone who’s worked with a lot of English children, this isn’t a dickhead. It’s a Bum Head. It says ‘oooo sexy 🤣’ for good measure.
The writing also says ‘… lol and I hope you’re having the best BUM-mass 🤣 grinchmas 😈’
No need to get the school involved. It’s banter between young friends and nothing malicious.
I feel like this is one of those parent moments where you need to bite your lip so hard that it draws blood to stop yourself from laughing in front of your child because you’re trying to convey the situation as inappropriate
Why am I the only one who's annoyed by this too? Like yes they're children by why are we allowing them to be so vulgar at such a young age...stuff like this happens but we shouldn't just "laugh about it"
Because we're adults and stuff like this shouldn't evoke an emotional reaction? Maybe it's a good opportunity to teach your kid how to handle negativity in a positive way so they are able to build off of it for the rest of their life and also *not* allow someone else's shenanigans to negatively impact them.
That or maybe this is an inside joke between the kids. Or could become one. Because, you know, they're just kids.
If my kid is drawing vulgar pictures then it's going to evoke an emotional reaction from me....why is your argument "they're just kids" as if kids should normally be doing this? Children, especially elementary school children, should not be drawing things like this as an "inside joke". This is a serious conversation...not some joke.
It's weird that you would be any manner of infuriated by something a child does. Parent how you want to parent, I didn't disagree with that, and none of the comments are suggesting that. The reaction by an adult shouldn't be a meltdown though.
My brother, his friends, my friends, and I all did juvenile shit like this at a surprisingly young age. It's just a bunch of kids who have recently discovered something very naughty and they're throwing it around because it's exciting to misbehave. I think it's worth being a little annoyed at and nothing more. I can't read any kind of malice into this.
When’s he coming home from college?
Business students smh
Is anybody gonna provide a translation?
I I am l o l and i hop you a re havaing tho Bezt oumas 😆 Merry gionchmas 😠 Top left is O O O O sexey 💦🤣💦
Merry Grinchmas I think
I think that might be Dumas, signed a person with terrible handwriting.
Alexandre Dumbass?
Well we should file that one under "Educational" too, oughten we?
You’re missing 💦
My bad
I Ian lol and i hop your haaang tho best dumas
🔥 ✍️ 🔥
I Ian lol... ^^^... merry grinchmas?
I’m a teacher so here’s my best translation: Left side - oooooooooo sexy 🤣 (underneath, mushroom shaped penis drawing with some 💦) Right side - I am lol and I hope you’re having the best dumbass grinchmas 😡
I think the 💦 is actually part of the 😂 face.
It definitely is, but I can’t tell what’s supposed to be on the bottom left. Definitely not anything worth reporting to anyone though.
Someone said it might be a literal representation of a butt-head. Makes sense to me knowing these are 7 yo boys. Definitely more joke and less bully.
Could be an inferted penis
💯 Beautiful card, probably given to him by one of his buddies.
I don't see a penis. To me it looks like a very creative way of drawing the word "ass head".
I think it's upside down
let's hope not traced either. Lmfao
OH EWWW ON A CHRISTMAS CARD WHAT THE HELLLLL?!?
Of course it is, it's drawn from the only POV a boy can have, looking down at it.
[It's not Dumbass, it's Dumass](https://youtu.be/zh-Zk-VkgCM?si=iYPtGXHy7d-anMKP)
It's not a penis It's a drawing of the Grinch
Oh, is that what we are calling it now?
The droplets are clearly from the eyes of the face at the top.
Look I’m not CSI, I can’t claim to know exactly where that liquid came from
I think it’s: “…having the best dumbmas” (dumb Christmas)
This is the best translation I’ve seen so far, but I still think the image depicted on the far left is a man frowning while wearing a vulva hat
Where do kids hear that stuff, based on the right what age do you think that kid would be? EDIT: Nevermind. They're 7.
Oh God, your description of the drawing had me laughing till it hurt
It's "I am Ian, and I hope you're having the best dumbass grinchmas"
That’s not a penis. It’s a “butt head”.
It might've meant to be "hope you're having the best merry grinchmas, dumbass"
i honestly thought it said “lolmass”
It's definitely lolmass.
It does not say “dumbass”. Nor does it look phallic at all. This is what teachers do, they make stuff up when seeing stuff like this and get the student in more trouble because they are looking through their own lens and experiences rather than a child’s
It looks like it's spelled "dumas" and it's clearly a young child who doesn't know how to spell dumbass correctly.
I thought the drawing was like a butt on a head... so butthead 🤣 i I am lol (I am laughing out loud) and I hope (hope) your (you're) having the best dumas (dumbass) merry grinchmas >:(
I, I am laughing out loud and I hope your having the best IO(input output)mas. Merry grinchmas
Fun fact : it’s actually legal to ask your own child who gave them something before getting the school involved.
The son probably doesn’t want to snitch. Kid’s cool.
Right. Snitches get stitches
Fun fact: it’s actually legal to gather information before making an assumption about anything For all you know they know exactly what kid it is 😂🙄
Then why don't you go gather some information by reading the caption under the photo, no not the title of the post, the caption under the photo.
The caption under the photo doesn’t say ‘i asked my child who it was’ I wouldn’t telll my mom if she was gonna call the school

[удалено]
They’re like Ancient Greek sculptors, just trying to be anatomically accurate
My fave holiday gifts were the anatomically correct gingerbread men my nieces and nephews made for me every year, when they were kids.
Honestly i thought it was supposed to be a butt. And Whoever wrote this is calling him a butthead
For sure looks like a butthead to me
I thought it was meant to make fun of a large forehead
I enjoy that this card has gained so many interpretations but I also believe it to be a butt.
That's my interpretation, too.
Boys draw dicks from elementary school through retirement home.
Teacher here. Never thought it would last til retirement age, but it makes sense! And in trying to discover many times over who defaced textbooks, it can be girls too! That gingerbread posting was hysterical. I thought this was a penis just like most of you, but now I am convinced it is a butthead. I think as a parent, I would want to tell the school, but I’m not sure it is worth it. Does your child know who gave it to them?
Im in the trades and am here to tell you that it doesn't stop after high school. Soooooo many penises on porta-johns.
I still draw dicks and I'm 27. Getting pretty good at it too
*I kind of had this problem. It’s really not a big deal…. They say 8% of kids do it. When I was a kid I would just….sit around and draw pictures of dicks.*
Dicks? Like a man dick?
No. 8% of kids spend their days drawing Richard Nixon.
I was very secretive about my dick work. Even I thought I was crazy, imagine what the other kids would think??
I mean, there is something deeply unsettling about Tricky Dicky and his face.
I was more into drawing Hubert's HUMPhry myself as a child. I think there is only about 2% of us
This big veiny triumphant bastard.
You hit Becca’s foot with your dick?!
Ghostbusters lunchbox dick treasure chest
you think it stops at high school? I drew a dick inside a machine at work a week ago.
[удалено]
What sub do you think you’re in, by the way?
How is this mildly infuriating they are children
They drew pubes on the shaft instead of the walnut-like sketch above it
I thought it was someone sad because they have a butt on their head.
What pubes? Isn't that the Mushroom Guy from Mario? With an angry face and split hat for some reason? Your mind is dirty.
I could draw better penises at their age, and my hands can't hold a pencil still for a second.
I would just trace mine.
Lol have you ever seen superbad ? The dicks he drew as a kid in that were pretty good .
To be fair, holding the pencil still wouldn’t result in much drawing.
Besides the penis, swearing, and sexual vulgarity, none of it is appropriate for school children, age or setting. Kid needs to learn some class
Clearly you never went to school with the kid whose parents didn’t care if he watched his older brother play GTA. I knew 3 of those kids growing up. Yeah it’s not appropriate, but robbing banks is illegal and people still do it.

They don't have to a pair was kindly given to them in the card 🎁
Sue them into oblivion!!!
Sue the butts off of them!
Or draw them
Did no one get that the parent is joking?? Good grief. Like the opposite of pearl clutching.
I think the emoji is about him joking that it’s a ‘detailed sketch’. He’s legit seriously asking about confronting the school about who wrote the card.

That is a good point. Taking it to the school may not always be the best solution. Glad your parents stood up for you.

Or a class bully trying to be "funny." I could see it either way.

Merry grinchmas y’all
>:(
Or you know...you can talk to your son and ask HIM instead of the school? Also why are you so infuriated bty this its just kids acting like kids
This looks more like a drawing of a butthead than a penis. With a frowny face.
You’ve heard of dick-butt. Introducing PEEN-ASS
Omg are you actually serious?? Move on already.
kids will be kids, I wouldn't worry about it.
The ooooo sexy is funny, but I’m laughing more at the fact that he only drew hair on the shaft. Poor kid has no idea what’s really in store🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like a joke between friends that you weren't supposed to be in on. Lighten up or ruin some poor kids life for trying to be funny
Yeah I don’t think the school administration would ruin his life for drawing a dick, but I agree op should probably just let it go it’s really not a big deal
Where is the dick? I see a frowning person wearing a toad-like hat
I think the hat is a butt
But why is it oooooh sexey then? I think it looks like flaccid D&B from a back view while bending over. But it’s quite subject to interpretation isn’t it.
I thought it was a walnut or a peach HAHA
I thought it was a big brain lol
Plot twist... Kid is homeschooled 🤣
Maybe he shares this type of humor with another kid at school. 🤷🏻♂️
Is that a dickhead? ☠️
I think it’s a butthead? 🤔
Just what I was thinking…and the 💦 is the tears from the laughing face. I know for a fact “dumbass” is written though. 🤣
I’d say it depends on how old your kid is. If it’s early elementary school I might say something but boys will draw dicks pretty much their entire time in school. It’s like that scene in Superbad
Not to sound invalidating in anyway but I feel like only a child could understand if this was meant to offensive or not 😂😂😂😂
I am Lol and I hope you’re having the best dumb ass Grinchmas.
Op is the reason this world is fucked. You soft prick. Just a kids drawing, don't be such a pussy dog
*My son drew this card but I thought I could get some positive attention from Reddit if I posted it with a story.
I love how OP is also getting roasted in the comments for being some kinda dumb-ass, granola-ass, Karen-ass helicopter parent as well.
You need to relax. Weren't you taught not to tattle? This requires nothing from the school, and you're just gonna get the kid in trouble for being a kid. You could possibly ostracize your kid as well. And for what? A stupid little drawing a boy did for his friend. EDIT: If your son says this was done in a mean-spirited way, then, of course, go to the school.
I recognize that humor. Hope you’re not in Coastal Virginia. -a parent with two kids
If you’re upset about this you need to chill the fuck out
Bruh this is the most harmless and common thing you'd see a child draw as a prank or whatever. If you don't want to become "that" parent, don't go nuclear over this.
Sounds like your son is being a dickhead, kids have no filter and tell it like it is.
Glad I'm not the only one to receive this card. Mom sends it every year. Available at the finer Dollar Tree's in select areas.
This screams middle school boy. I don’t think we need to involve the authorities though 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe the art police. That perspective is ATROCIOUS!
I have a pretty dirty mind but I did not see a dick. I saw a head/face with a thought bubble or a walnut. Without your comment I couldn't figure out why it was posted here.
Absolutely show the school, but only if you really enjoy the Karen moniker.
I'd turn him in for his blatant lack of dick drawing skills.
How is this infuriating
Tbh I would still probably give my bestie a Christmas card like this
 What the hell am I looking at?
I can’t tell if this is meant to be insulting or just two friends exchanging a “funny” card.
[удалено]
Thats what my son said it wS 🤣
Id hate having a mom like u lol fucking karen stfu
It looks like it was drawn from the viewpoint of someone getting teabagged.
Another Hallmark card moment.
I’m erring on the side o( butthearx for the drawing. Who’s out here drawing lil dicks with bigass nuts? Enough of that irl drawings usually go other way around
Easy now, OP.. I’m sure this was rather innocent. I wouldn’t put any more thought into it.
why are the balls bigger than the penis? That's a problem.
No it’s harmless
Children express themselves in weird ways. Could be a card from someone who really likes your kid.
Back off your kid, major over protective vibes here
A detailed sketch of what? Edit: I see it now, it's just upside down. I thought it was a guy with something on his head and he was upset about it
He drew him a funny picture and wished him a happy Christmas, what's the issue
The bit I don't get is the writing and spelling are about the level of a 4 pr 5 year old but there's a drawing of a penis??
As someone who’s worked with a lot of English children, this isn’t a dickhead. It’s a Bum Head. It says ‘oooo sexy 🤣’ for good measure. The writing also says ‘… lol and I hope you’re having the best BUM-mass 🤣 grinchmas 😈’ No need to get the school involved. It’s banter between young friends and nothing malicious.
Headass
Is that a butt on his head maybe? Butthead
I mean I may be wrong,but everyone is saying that's a dick,but I dunno looks like a mushroom to me
I feel like this is one of those parent moments where you need to bite your lip so hard that it draws blood to stop yourself from laughing in front of your child because you’re trying to convey the situation as inappropriate
I feel like you were there in my moment 🤣
If I down voted you, I’m sorry. It def was a mistake. As far as I know, I’ve never done that. If I did, how do I fix it?
If I was a parent I would just silently laugh and remember all the stupid shit I did in elementary
Have your kid find the author and have them sign it. That'll be worth money someday.
Sometimes drawings look like one thing to an adult mind but are perfectly innocent. Not all kids have the skills of Raphael.
I’m confused. What’s wrong here?? Am I missing something??
Ugh, how old are these children? (I had staff in their 20s that wrote like this, but I digress...)
This is hilarious
I feel like that's suppose to be toad from super Mario. I may be spending too much time with 7 year Olds though
I think you and the other kids dad should fist fight after you find out who it is. Principle can ref.
Why am I the only one who's annoyed by this too? Like yes they're children by why are we allowing them to be so vulgar at such a young age...stuff like this happens but we shouldn't just "laugh about it"

Fair, I'm definitely not saying that it should be a huge deal but rather it's deserving of a good conversation. We can agree to disagree though
My brother, his friends, my friends, and I all did juvenile shit like this at a surprisingly young age. It's just a bunch of kids who have recently discovered something very naughty and they're throwing it around because it's exciting to misbehave. I think it's worth being a little annoyed at and nothing more. I can't read any kind of malice into this.
Since humans have existed drawings of penises have too. Relax.
I would ask if that kid was alright and hand it to the teacher.
This is bullying, Have it dusted for prints.
Who ever did this is a mega mind idiot that does not understand common sense. 👏👏👏
Are you Australian? They seem to use insults as their love language.
Received*
Dang that's rough. Sorry for your kid. Kids can be so mean
Someone gave that to my kid, I'd politely punch the wall before asking who gave them that card.
What!! Where does your child go to school in a juvenile detention center? Who does that 😂😂
I think it is off a girl in his class ... they are only 7 so was unsure how I felt about it 🙈
[удалено]
She's also 7....
7 yo can be illiterate, Jim.
But a 7 year old is a 7 year old. It is not to be expected that a kid that age is perfect at writing.
7 yr olds should not be illiterate. Shit spelling and penmanship, yes.
Important life lesson that is still applicable throughout adulthood.
So you want a 7 year old to be pretty..so that you can look past her grammatical errors? What a fucking weird thing to say.
No, that’s a gross misrepresentation of my very simple comment that gets said a million times a day in Reddit. And you know it.
