My son went for his poly this week and failed. He was considerably more relaxed before going in than he was last year. 

Both years, it was a question he wasn't at all worried about that failed him. Last year it was, had he had any unsupervised contact with a minor. He had not. In fact, the only time all the year before that he'd seen a kid was my granddaughter--his niece twice during the summer. This past summer he went to the pool once. But the poly said he lied . . .

This time the question was have you seen any child naked? He should have simply said no, because he hadn't seen anyone's kid naked. But--it'd been the love month . . . cupid had crossed his path, and he said so. FAIL! He must have had a fantasy for the cute little thing! I told him that's where he should have remembered to rephrase the question in his head. Had you seen any real child naked? No. 

Otherwise, he passed all the other questions without a problem. And those were the ones he'd been worried about. I know he was bummed big time, but I can't help thinking, it's one question. It could have been worse.

There was no retest last year, so I'm hoping that will be the case this year. And next year, I hope he remembers to rephrase such a question as well as doing his breathing thing.
