Courteney Cox-Arquette was terrified her husband would get their daughter expelled from kindergarten.

The former ‘Friends’ star says rules at five-year-old Cocos school are very strict and was horrified when spouse David Arquette broke them.

 

She said: “Its an amazing school, but they have strict rules. David was out of town, weve been known to be late, and the lady was like, ‘Ill say this, its very, very important for you all to be on time.’

 

When he got back he wanted to drop her off and afterwards hes like, ‘I was a little late.’ I said, ‘How late?’ and he goes, ‘Fifteen minutes.’ ‘What time did you get there?’ ‘9am.’ I said, ‘No, you werent 15 minutes late. It starts at 8.20am. You were 40 minutes late!’ ”

 

As well as being late, David had dressed Coco in a banned outfit and put forbidden food in her lunch box.

 

Courteney added: “I said, ‘David, thats three rules!’ Our communications went through a breakdown, but were going to get through it. Were going to get expelled.”

 

Courteney says shes shocked at how many rules there are and says they are easy to unintentionally break.

 

She told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “I mean, so many rules you cant believe it. You cant bring certain snacks because other kids are allergic. You cant wear certain clothes because, Im not sure, theyre too risque? Im not sure. And, you know, Coco loves to dress up.”
