when you point out that the kid has out & out lied? How is that picking on a kid. SS almost 11 recently got glasses, 2 pairs. W/in 2 weeks the expensive pair that had flexy hinges for baseball were broken. We only learned this when we asked why he was wearing the other pair. The bow supposedly just broke while he was just sitting there not touching them in math class. The same class he just fell out of his chair during the class for no reason ( neither parent seems to wonder about this because he has a 97 in the class so this stuff is okay). So on Friday I pick up the kids & BM sends message through them to see if I will take him to pick up the new glasses, I get to see the broken ones. The bow is sticking straight up, how the heck does that happen if you are screwing around with them, especially when you have a history of being unable to stay on task & keep your hands to yourself???

Sunday night when we were dropping him off I asked do you have both pairs of glasses, kid looks right at me & says yes. Really, I found the case sitting in the dining room last night. So I tell DH the whole story & of course I am picking on him because of the whole gate incident the day before where the dog got loose because SS can't remember that he has to shut it. Thank goodness we have me to blame so the kid can be perfect.
