One last trip on the teeter totter
Up!
We are going to look at fridges today. After checking a few websites I think we can definitely find something in our price range. Baboo is against going to Craigs List. He wants something new with a warranty. My dad planted that seed into his head. lol.
Down…
Jonathon got in trouble at school yesterday for something so ridiculous I’m ashamed to even write it. He was saying he had something to tell me but he wanted to wait til we got home. As we were leaving the school someone from the office staff came running out to us. He asked if Jon had spoke to me and he said no yet. So we stood there on the sidewalk in front of the school, and Jonathon, my 10 year old son, told me what happens.
It appears his friends dared him to wear shorts under his pants. Jonathon did this and went to school. They proceeded to dare him to pull his pants down in front of girls to trick them, even though he was wearing shorts.
So my brilliant child did this. *blink*
While he was wearing LONG bright red basketball shorts, they freaked out and told the teacher, as they should. I’m not even mad about that, my son was being a little dumbass. They were uncomfortable about his actions.
So he got sent to the office and told the staff member, I think he may be the vice principal, but I"m SO GLAD it wasn’t the principal herself because I’d have probably told her to shut the fuck up.
ANYWAY, the staff guy said he knew it was just a poor choice on Jonathon’s behalf, it wasn’t to be dirty or gross, but it could have gone very wrong if, say, his shorts came down with his pants and he had shown underwear or worse. He had to write it up and its sitting in a "file".
If Jon does anything else remotely like this, he will be reported and could get in trouble for a sex crime.
As ridiculous as that sounds, it makes far too much sense. I would be just as mad if some little shit thought that was funny around any of my kids and I wanted to just go ballistic last night because of it. I was, however, not feeling so great so I only gave him the "you’re going to die soon" mother face and the guy said it wont’ go any further as long as Jon behaves.
We left and Jon felt really bad. He will be punished, but in reality he has learned yet another tough lesson. Why my child has to go the stupidest route before learning something is beyond me. I worry for his future. He’s not an idiot, but my god!!! I just don’t remember having these issues. And maybe it’s because I was a girl, shy, and really didn’t like being in trouble that kept me from making such stupid moves, but as a parent I’m at a loss.
Anyway, it’s over now, but my wanna be sex criminal son better get his shit together damn it!
I’m getting off the teeter totter now.
Oh yeah, I have a ticker. Look at that!

you know it is absurd that what your son did should ever rise to a sex crime. It sickens me that a kid being a kid now could land him or her in hot water. It’s just stupid. I think common sense has to come back at some point because this politically correct crap is just so effing ridiculous.

my nephew has also done something similar and he is 10. ..

That’s certainly not a sex criminal in the making. It’s a kid being a….KID! That’s ridiculous it even needed to be reported.
Warning Comment
Your perspective on these things is spot on. Tough and loving mom. Well done, yo
Warning Comment
Things sure have changed, the kids who mooned and pantsed and did the “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” on the playground and school bus would probably have to register as sex offenders I guess. Ugh.

Now a days, you get “sex crimes” for wiggling your eyebrows at someone…
Warning Comment
Oh my! I don’t think he’s old enough to think about all the implications of doing something like that. When he’s older, those things will probably occur to him, and he’ll tell those guys, “No I’m not doing that. That’s retarded and I’d get in trouble.” He will do this because you’re his mom, and you teach him the good stuff he needs to know. 🙂
Warning Comment
Boys, yeah? I fear, my dear, your little dare taker might get bolder as he gets older. *ducks* Stop throwing stuff at me! Im cereal. Hopefully this will be the last clothing malfunction dare he takes for awhile.

Sweet Jesus I love warranties on major appliances! I think your son will do fine in life. IN regards to your note. The one in which you state your desire to start a zombpocalypse…Why oh why are all the ladies who love death and destruction already taken?!? Forever alone. Take care.
Warning Comment
It’s because he’s a boy. Boys did that stuff all the time at my school. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Warning Comment
Ehh, warranties are nice, but we’ve bought two fridges in the last maybe 12 years… Both brand new with I believe 1 year warranties. And both needed a repair at about 2 years old in the $150 range…

oh jon! its such a stupid little thing but in this day & age you have to be so careful, a sex crime could really stick to him, i’m glad the school didn’t go all crazy and make it a bigger deal than it was, because it was ‘joke’ that he seemed to be peer pressured into doing. boys in a collective are idiots, i don’t even think they can help it!
Warning Comment
i feel like jonathon is probably a lot like josh was when he was a kid. picked on, taken advantage of, and when he finally acts out HE is the one in the wrong. just keep him level-headed and make sure he does understand what was wrong and what was right and yada yada i know you know what to do. you guys will be okay. you’re a great mother and your kids are fantastic. no stress. <3

I had these issues with Te. In grade school she was in the bathroom with a girl and for some reason in the same stall or went in there and touched her. AUGH!!! Not weird she turned out to be a lesbo! Then in junior high, at p.e. she got depants and depantsed someone…got caught. ugh… no worries mama! ish happens.

*shakes head* boys always have to follow up with their dares.
Warning Comment
Boys will be boys and it’s not like he was wiggling his penis at the girls…sometimes they make way too much out of something like this. Just a childish prank and since he’s only 10, well, it’s something you’ll look back on and laugh about in the future. Trust me on this one!!!

Hugs.

I did worse when I was his age! But then again, I did worse than anyone’s age. Don’t worry, be happy!

Wow – that school is a joke.
