Yes, him again

Me: "...so, in conclusion, I do not want to pick you up at art class again to have Ms. M tell me that the boys and girls are yelling and swearing at each other and calling the opposite gender names. That behavior is not okay. Are there any questions about that

He sounds just like someone else I know. Do you think Silent Time works with adults?

[msjen]

"It's Silent Time now so we can all work calmly."

Yeah, I think so. Do you want my sign?

[tryffid]

I think I may get a negative reaction if I use a sign, like a punch in the face.

My co-worker told me today that she now just holds up a sign that says "Silence" because she's just tired of repeating herself. Like all tricks with kids, it will work for about three weeks and then you have to find another way to get their attention.

But you could try that too. ;)

he's a clever one there.

[msjen]

Yes, I suppose he deserves credit for that.

so what does pissy boy not hate?
learn that, and you've got blackmail material.

Cartoons. That's it. I actually did ask him today, and that's what he said. To be fair, I can relate. All I really want to do is watch cartoons all day, albeit different ones.

And yesterday he told me, "I'm trying to lock the cartoons in my room and not bring thinking about them in my brain to school, but it's not working."

I told him to keep trying.

don't worry, i've puked twice this week to make up for your class.

if they don't start puking again next week, i'll have to go to the doctor's again :(

[msjen]

Okay. Tomorrow's snack time will feature tequila and pineapple juice, then!

funny, some superstitions hold that how you spend the first day of the new year is how you'll spend most of the year. sorry for making you puke on NYD.
