Got an email from Benjamin's teacher about half way through the day. Actually, was less than half way for him since he had a dentists appt and did not start school til after 1000. So, what did he do?
1. Peed on the wall and floor in the boys bathroom
2. Took a toy ninja action figure to school
2a. Let a girl take the ninja from him
3. Kicked 2 kids in the nuts. One to show him how he would do it, the other because he was following them around and wouldn't go away (This is probably the most upsetting for me)
4. He recently got a retainer for his top teeth and was being a distraction taking it in and out
5. Was working with another kid on an assignment and they decided to goof off and be loud instead of working
Jack, you need any short help? I can send Benjamin down there to see what real hard work is like.

Sounds like my kiddo last year Marcus! At least you will be on a first name basis with the school staff.

Just figures when you think you have a nice cushion of cash expensive things in the house start breaking.

Do we have "Junior Woodrow" patches designed yet?
He is having a bang up year. I know it is a normal part of raising a boy and part of it is in his DNA. Just keep the balance between steering him in the right direction with discipline and love, and not making him hate or fear me the way I did my Pop

Nah, we did it for 2 years and he really wasn't putting his full effort into it.

I feel for you Mark. Kids like pushing boundaries. I'd rather have that over a pushover mama's boy. But there is nothing wrong with loving ones mom.
