1.0 Pencils and pens...Your fellow DPC'ers are stealing them for their challenges?
1.1 The dog is eating them as well.
2.0 Get a percolator, add some honey to the tea or drink water. That chicory stuff in the bulk tin is floor sweepings anyway.
3.0 and 4.0 Try this new expandable and adaptable range from 3M for the kids
5.0 I installed an electric fence today (I actually did) and my dog only touched it once...now he stays inside...
6.0 This looks like it was made from Staedtler Pencils (now you know where they disappear).
7.0 He just wants some attention... Chorus: 'aaaaah cute'
8.0 Maybe the old dog is sick of his pencil diet and needs some bran so that he can perform again...
9.0 I'm not sure how to respond without some crude animated .gif so this is the best I could do.
10.0 I bet if they saw your new digs they would be all over you like a rash...friends!
11.0 Maybe he needs a good spanking? What happened to the good ol' days?
12.0 You sure he wasn't just looking through the window at the match?
12.1 Oh you mean a cricket! That's just not cricket by Jove! I'd also scream if it was anything as big as this one :)
13.0 Stuck you say? It could be worse, at least you could yell at him whilst the fireman brought the shears to cut him out :) BTW this fireman can help erase all memories of 9.0 above...
14.0 I'm avoiding this one... I've been married long enough to know not to go there...
15.0 Is it this bad? Then fireman in 13.0 above should be able to help :)
16.0 I tried calling but all your lines were engaged. Suffices to say I'm saying 'Hello Juliet' now :)
17.0 After all you're going through, you're entitled to it...
And by 7:58am if you are still looking like this, take the day off, you deserve it :)
After all that effort and I get one grumpy professor :)
Speak to my Japanese Lawyer: Su Mi
Hehe
BTW search DPC for a percolator and see what you get...a bloody orange!
love him, and squeeze him, and pet him, and call him George?
I'm not sure what else, but start with a deep breath. . .
eta: did he get in trouble for that? cuz, I can see them letting you know in case he gets a sinus infection or something, but kids stick things places. it's part of being a kid. not trouble worthy, IMO.
(Story -- two years ago, my nephew and two of his buddies thought it would be kinda fun to "skip class" and go exploring around the school. so they did. they also got into big trouble, which i didn't find appropriate. why? they were five. in kindergarten. my question was how in the world did a teacher and her assistant "lose" three kids. did this not alarm someone other than the parents and me? especially kids that had a presence like brooks and his buddies did. -- and yes, I HAVE been a public school teacher, at the elementary level.)

I have serious misgivings about his teacher to be honest, he breaks a crayon, he gets written up, a pencil the same thing, touching another student, breaking a toy car that he stood on that he didn't see, not raising his hand in class. 3/4 of them I actually laugh at (inside my head) but tell him not to do that again as his teacher doesn't like it. The other 1/4 he deserves (like climbing onto the bathroom sink)

He is Charlie and he won't be broken by her, but I am really beginning to think she is trying her hardest too break his will. Time for a school conference I think

Cowboy, i drove by a huge roadside ad today for border patrol 1/877usbphelp(i think, i was going 90) and here is a website that may help you out right now //jobsearch.usajobs.opm.gov/
we've talked about how your charlie and my kristi are soulmates (or twins separated at conception, thank God), but he also sounds A LOT like my 8 yo nephew Brooks (whom Kristi is also like). My brother and his wife have had many of the same experiences as you.

He breaks a crayon and he gets "Written Up"???????
SERIOUSLY time for a conference!
She's an elementary school teacher, she's supposed to be working with these kids to help them socialize and understand how things work.
What kid is going to understand being written up for being......a kid?
If there are special needs, that's one thing, but still, she isn't handling it well.
She's supposed to communicate with you if there are issues.
