Giotto's father meets his son's teachers A true tale about the famous Italian painter Giotto di Bondone: Giotto's father wants to know more about his son's school performance, so he goes to the annual parent-teacher conference. He enters the Italian litterature teacher's office and says: ""H-hi, t-teacherr, I'm Gio-t-t-o'shh fa-ther, is m-my s-shhon d-doing w-well?"". The teacher looks at him with a disgusted face. ""What's wrong with this man? He speaks like somebody whose tongue has been cut off!"", he thinks. Still shocked, the teacher tells the man about Giotto: ""I'm sorry, but Giotto is a terrible student. He knows nothing about Italian litterature and during my lessons, I always see him drawing on his desk, paying no attention to me"". Hearing these words, Giotto's father goes mad and starts uttering: ""W-what? T-thish i-issh sshameful! T-tonight I'mm g-gonna t-teach him w-what the word d-dishhipline r-really meanssh!"" So he leaves the room and goes to the math teacher's office. ""H-hi, t-teacherr, I'm Gio-t-t-o'shh fa-ther, is m-my s-shhon d-doing w-well?, he asks. The math teacher doesn't believe his eyes. ""How could this man end up speaking like this? I can hardly understand what he says as he keeps spitting all around the office!"", he thinks. Then he answers the man's question: ""Giotto is a disaster, sir. He can barely count to 10 and whenever I look at him, I find him drawing on his desk"". Giotto's father goes mad again and leaves the office. ""T-tonight I'm t-teaching him a l-lesshhon!"", he shouts. Finally, Giotto's father reaches the art teacher's office. ""H-hi, t-teacherr, I'm Gio-t-t-o'shh fa-ther, is m-my s-shhon d-doing w-well?"". The art teacher is shoked at first. ""What happened to this man?"", he thinks. Then he smiles: ""You're a very lucky father, sir! Your son is a genius! He draws like no other. I'm sure he has a bright future ahead of him. Yesterday, for example, he painted a window on my classroom's wall. Outside the window you could see an amazing landscape wih hills, flowers, birds and even a river! It was so realistic that I tried to look out the window and I hit my head against the wall!"", says the art teacher while pointing at a large patch on his forehead. Giotto's father seems to be unimpressed: ""W-Well"", he says, ""t-that sshhhhon of a b-bitch! It wasshh worshhe f-for me! Two d-days ago he p-painted a pusshhy on the shhtove!""
