Wait, is that morse code in the title? Can anyone decode that? (dash?)dot dot dot dot dot dot?

Am I reading too much into that?

Boychild was irritated by another boy today to the point where he picked up a (luckily nerf) bat and hit him in the face with it. I don't care HOW mad he made him, there is NO excuse for that. (I'm just happy that it wasn't a Louisville Slugger..)

Apparently the boy had kept insisting that if boychild didn't make three baskets the world would end (or some othersuch idiocy) and son played into it and got so wrapped up in it he completely lost it.

Oh how wroth I wax! The teachers said it had definitely been a two way street today with that one, but no it isn't OK to act out like that. I added Unacceptable, Bad, and Just Plain Wrong.

I refrained from verbalizing my immediate response, which was "You little bastard wait until I get you home!", and called his father to meet us at the school. We had a calm and rational discussion about punishments (he was going to be harder on himself than we were in some ways, not learning enough of a lesson in self control in others) and I hauled him home instead of taking him to the dojo.

The other boy is fine, apparently he might have gotten a scratch, and will probably think twice before baiting my son again. (maternal snicker quickly stifled.)

Just think MsA, in another 10 years you too can be writing this post! Enjoy!

LOL Just remember I usually deal with the kids who did use a Louisville slugger...
I assume boychild is grounded and is about to be visited by the various chores that teach patience for frustration;)

No priveledges until they have been earned back.

(Wii, computer, TV/movies, and reading in the bathroom, among others) (Yes, he really does read in the bathroom, and hates spending time sitting without a book). The above to be earned back by no reports of bad behavior at school, work done on time, and doing what is asked of you IMMEDIATELY with no moping, mumbling, foot draggin, backtalk, or repetitions of the demands. To be succinct: signs of self-control. I've been hearing a little too much teenager-by-association in his inflection lately and it needs to stop. He's picking it up from the kids with older sibs.

He suggested for no Wii for a week, no karate tonight, and a probable spanking when he got home. I said I would take it under consideration and discuss it with his father.

Then Doctroid got in the car and things got mediated to the above. I just glared and made vaguely disappointed glances and discussions of consequences and feelings and needing to be in control of ones self in high school where people will try to push your buttons and get you mad because they're stupid like that, and that if you ever want pets and children of your own you have to be able to control yourself.. like I was right that very instant [meaningful baleful glare]. I think he got the point.

I do my best work as the silent and foreboding presence, tossing in a good measure of maternal disappointment. (He likes to make mom happy and proud. I am not above using this to my advantage. Every weapon in the arsenal...)

The lesson will be learned.

Sorry to hear that boychild had a bad day. But glad to hear that things worked out pretty well, considering. (Only the Louisville Slugger? Geesh, I've had kids swing the wooden end of a broom at each other, and others who've stabbed -- and caused bleeding -- each other with ball point pens...)

And if what Kel entered is morse code, it means nothing (unless TSS means something to you....).

Well, TSS turns up a lot of results on google :P

Being grounded sucks, but hey, when you do something wrong it has consequences :\ Sorry boychild was having a hard time, Rosie.

Must get that boychild back in line.. HUGS Rosie. oooh taking away reading material that's OW ( but I am sure very memorable)

Oh yeah had that too Neko ( and more I just figured it was less disturbing to go with the bat as opposed to the assault on pregnant teacher etc...)
