TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part X
Don't forget to wash your hands after eating hot & spicy pork rinds and before going to the bathroom....advice from a friend
He is grounded from TV and his tablet til next Sunday. We gave the stern lecture about how it was wrong to do all that stuff. After he went upstairs Beth and I discussed that although it is not good, most of the stuff is normal kid ****.
The part that really hurts me is he tried to exclude a kid from his group of friends and he suffered from that when he was in pre-school and his speech was really bad (20 intelligible words for a 4-5 year old). Kids could not understand him and he was kinda ignored by the other kids.

But man......that was rough. So I get it.

Yep same after slicing penos.
I got a call from school (about 18 years ago) that my daughter was tormenting an Indian girl. The wife and I were mortified. I don't recall what the punishment was, but it worked because she's the least prejudice person I know now.

I just figured after Benjamin been the kid that was ignored and excluded (and he still below his grade level for speech) that he wouldn't be "that kid". Especially since he is the type that cries when the sun sets in the evening...very emotional (I blame Beth for that)...though he might be more sensitive. Oh well, we'll see how he does with extra chores and no TV/Tablet
I don't envy children and I would never want to go back in time. Not that it's any different now than it was back in our day. It was always brutal. Lord of the Flies wasn't that far off from any given day on the playground. (Do they even have those anymore?)
Yeah, they have playgrounds....he has left it twice this school year. Once to pee because he did not think he would make it inside and then last week following 2 other kids to see how deep the snow was in the field
Mark, I'm bettin that Benjy was only going along (with the exclusion of the other kid) to be a part of the group he was with. He probably felt as though if he didn't go along with the others, he would be excluded himself......Tough times and tough decisions for one so young, but that's how we all learn.
What's next? Pirate outfits and chaps?
