�It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and biting it and tore off the top and it kinda looked like a gun but it wasn�t,� Josh said. �All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but it didn�t look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun kinda.�
School officials called Josh�s father to explain why his son was in trouble. During that conversation, Josh�s dad said school officials told him they considered Josh�s actions a threat because he said �bang, bang� while holding the pastry.
�I asked if was any one was hurt, they said no,� B.J. Welch said. �I would almost call it insanity. I mean with all the potential issues that could be dealt with at school � real threats, bullies, whatever the issue is. It�s a pastry.�
The school sent a letter home to parents that explained the incident where �a student used food to make inappropriate gestures.BALTIMORE (WTVR/WBFF) � A seven-year-old Baltimore student is missing school over a pastry gun suspension.
