The Oldest wanted to get a shirt he saw in a store today that said, "I go to school for the girls" (btw do you believe in those sassy shirts? I did get him one in the summer that says "Excuses why I didn't go to school today" and he is NOT allowed to wear it to school.). Hmmm.
So when he threw mulch at a little girl the other day and finally admitted to me that he did it to get her attention......I'm to think what? That he's eight and should know better? Of course I think THAT! That the teacher is getting a false sense of who he is, that he's really a good kid making silly wrong decisions? Sure I think that too. But what else.....
At the tail end of a rough two weeks with him in school, I'm to think what? Can someone send me a box of common sense with a big bow on it?
When I think back to the stuff that he got in trouble for in first grade, then second grade and now this year so far, they have all, almost all (the worms, the calling the little girls' mom ugly last year, this mulch thing last week) have to do with girls. He gets full blame, responsibility, sure he does. When he said he wanted that shirt, it all came full circle. With that mischeivious grin on his face, I knew then, we're in trouble. With all I have, we will make sure this wonderful boy will stay on the right track, not get off on the wrong track. But be warned...all mom's of girls, watch out, these boys, they worry about girls way too early. I told him that. He wanted her attention so he threw mulch at her? Great way to get someone's attention. Hey let me blind you for life (he didn't of course) notice me now? Common sense. Send it please. Thanks.
