Aaron is my 4 year old son. Last year he was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which is high-functioning autism. He's been going to a special ed preschool since last September.
He's been obsessed with this wooden toy rhino at his school. It sits on a small round platform and when you push underneath the platform, the rhino moves. The husband said that Aaron's made several attempts to take it home by putting it in his backpack. The husband and Aaron's teachers are pretty good at preventing it though. However, Aaron actually succeeded once during one of the times I picked him up. When we pulled into the driveway of our house he said, "Rhino. Backpack." I opened up his backpack and sure enough there it was.
Anyway, today the husband called and told me that Aaron's teacher told Aaron that if he put the rhino in his backpack he wouldn't be allowed to play with it anymore for the rest of the school year. Aaron proceeded to unzip his backpack. He then picked up the rhino, looked at the teacher and then put the rhino in his shirt.
