first in trouble letter...

ok people first please take a look at my baby boy. so sweet, always smiling, very bright, good at sports, loves his sister and family, helps his mom when she needs it, helps his dad work in the hot rod shop, does his chores most of the time, is a rule follower and very respectful to others at school.....................and all around good boy.........i'm so proud......... until yesterday and then my sweet baby boy went from the above to an aliens child. not my child cause oh my child he is good to others not rude, not disrespectful. i'm just totally confused and not sure what to do about this little situation now let me explain.
i am a pushover with my kids yes i can be hard on them but it kills me to do so. i start screaming at them and they think it's funny and the first little crack of a smile and their i go busting out laughing. i hate to see them cry, but i know that's how they learn is by rules and trust me i have plenty of rules and have never had a issue with in trouble letter stuff. however even through i am a sucker for my kids all 3 of them they don't treat me bad or disrespect me cause they know i'll not tolerate that cause i can get angry and put the fear of life into them. i have a system for this it's called
"OK THEN I'M TELLING DAD!"
so then i tell dad he does the getting on to and then i usually end up crying in the bedroom or feeling guilty about tattle telling on them, but i have good kids for the most part. maybe this is from being raised by my grandparents spoiled rotten and hardly ever getting in trouble for anything. oh well back to the subject of how i came to learn about this letter.
so yesterday re and i pick up cre from school together because i had an appointment after school we are sitting in line had a good day and here comes Mr. Smiley (im referring to the sweet baby boy above) now he did not look as if he had gotten in trouble nor did he breathe a word about it (probably cause that re was with me) this was 3ish. we went to appointment headed back home and stopped and got a quick bite to eat quiznos as a matter of fact. sammies are the bomb! still nothing happy as a lark the usually chatty cre that he is. we go to shop to get re's tools so he and cre can finish his school reach project before the next weeks deadline. cre rides home with me cause re's truck is full of tools. we are cruzin home listening to the tunes home was about 10 minutes away the perfect time to let the bomb out but not a word. as it is getting to be about 7ish re and cre go out to the hot rod shop and i go down to my scrapbooking room to organize it but instead i started creating great pages, and then around 8ish i hear the door close and down the stairs i hear him come and then i see my sweet little baby boy tears in his eyes and a letter in hand and said with a sad voice i got in trouble (my first thought was that his dad Mr. Re had gotten tire and i little grumpy about this project ) and so i said did dad get on to you for something. and he said no.....i said why did you get in trouble he said for being disrespectful at school and handed me the first ever school in trouble letter. which i want to give props to mr. tuttle for making him write his own, please read below......


so then i went from ah poor baby to what the heck i raised you better than that and blah, blah, blah, i said cre did you tell dad he said no so i said i have to tell dad cause i'm not gonna have a kid like this and don't ask to go to the movies for a long time. like ever! so he goes back out to help re and i scanned the letter and started a scrapbook page with it cause i knew he wasn't gonna tell dad that i would have to so i want to make a presentation and break the news in a creative way, also so i could then turn around and stick it in his school scrapbook that one day we'll all laugh about but not through these pre teen and teenager years im sure. so around 930ish i hear a door and then things rattling in the kitchen and knew they were done for the evening and after re made a bowl of cereal here he comes down to see what im doing and so i called cre down and re said hey what are you working on and i then looked at cre and cre quickly put his head down, and re said what is it slowly and cre still not a whisper even about the letter and so dad reads the page and the vein that dads get when their blood pressure going sky high well re got the veins and then cre told him and after a 10 minute you will not speech from dad cre headed to bed.
ok aliens you can bring bad my sweet baby boy and return this one to his owner.
