I'm SOOOOOO embarrassed...

You know that "wonderful" kid that I talk about all the time?

The one that your children can only aspire to be?

Yeah, THAT one.  Man-Child.

He has TOTALLY disgraced the family.

*******

He has detention on Saturday.

THREE WHOLE HOURS!!!

His infraction?

Chewing gum.

I do NOT know where I went wrong with this kid, y'all.  Seriously.

Was I not strict enough?  Too strict??

I need advice - it is apparent that this kid is headed straight to the Big House and it's all my fault!

    Sometimes that zero-tolerence policy goes a bit to far. Tell the man-child he is now getting coal in his stocking for being such a menace to society.

    I spent quite a bit of time in the big D due to my incessant skipping and tardiness- and I turned out just fine :)

    Chewing gum?...I think you need to be shaking a few people around...three hours of detention for chewing gum...I'm sorry, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that. Can I say: that's ridiculous? Is that ok to say?

    Dang, that stinks.

    But 3 hrs for chewing gum seems a bit extreme.

    Woah. I....I don't think I can even look at him right now.

    3 hours on a Saturday? For chewing gum? Didn't we teach him to swallow it??

    Just be glad it wasn't much worse than that. After all, he could have be one of those people who wear blue all the time and cheer for (shudders at the thought) UNC.

    I know, I know, hated to even mention that; but, being the bright kid you've told us about, I'm sure he has his head on straight and is headed for Raleigh and the Red and White. :D

    TAG

    Alum of that school whose colors are red and white that has beaten those boys in blue 5 consecutive years in football. :D
