Smarter school teachers please

Well, I should be surprised but I'm not. The littlest DovBearlings came back from school yesterday believing that חשון has the "nickname" of "מר חשון" because, well, you know.

[The name of the month comes from the Babylonian מרח שון, ie: Eighth month.]
[Yes, the holy Jewish people refer to their holy Jewish month with probably-not-so-holy Babylonian names. Deal with it.]
