Mama teaches a lesson

I drove the boys to school today. When I returned home I had a message on voice mail "Hi mom, I forgot my clothes (it was gym day). It's me "Older Boy". Can you bring my clothes to school"? What?!? I just got home. And I have lunch duty in few hours. Crud.

So instead of being a good mom and just taking the clothing to school for him, I did this:



Nine year old boys H.A.T.E. love notes from mom. Putting it on heart shaped paper with a sparkly pink smiley sticker was for effect. Hopefully this embarrassed him enough that he NEVER forget his clothes again :)

Don't mess with the Mama (or her work out time).

hah! although you're still nicer than me . . . I don't bring in anything they forgot unless it was clearly my fault (which I admit has happened once or twice). There is no way I am re-buckling three kids back into the van with this giant belly just because they forgot their book order or something. Sorry dudes. :)

Oh, and I also love how he identified himself on the message -- as if you might not recognize your own child! Mine do the same thing . . . Fiver even leaves his first AND last name! ;)

And did it smell nice like mama?

Aimee,
He's usually pretty good (or I'm pretty good about double checking) so I gave him a pass this time... Next time probably not.

Bailey's Leaf... good one, I didn't think of that. But I wanted to embarrass him, not get him beat up ;) Oh he's got enough issues right now...
