Speaking of behaving, let's talk about Jailbird.
This morning while preparing for school, you could see a spark in the Jailbird's eyes. He was animated. He was excited. He was busy. He was talking. Telling his Dad not to call him 'Saw-man', his name was Sawyer Stricklin. He was headed toward trouble.
His Daddy said, "you sure look and sound like a little boy who is going to get in trouble at school today".
Before sending him to his bus, we admonished him. "No Tweeting. No bad reports. Or NO GROCERY STORE". (That is his reward at the end of hard week of Kindergarten)
He said, "Okay, Mom
(If you have a 20 year old Ethiopian son, you might recognize "OK MOM" as the standard reply when his English fails him and he has no idea what you just said. The same may apply here too)
On the positive side, He did NOT tweet.
Nope. He DING DONGED instead. Along with throwing crayons on the floor and some other things.
This means, Mom gets a trip to the store by herself tonight.
You'd think I'd be doing the happy dance.
However, it's quite fun taking Sawyer to the Grocery store, so I'm a bit saddened.
Randy suggested taking one of our alternates.
I declined the offer.
