Why in the hell do I check this thread? :(

OMFG!! Double OMFG!!   The boy, who is 14, just said something extremely ill-conceived and rude to IQ!  This is the very first time he's ever done this...I'm guessing he was feeling brassy today and thought he'd test his boundaries.

Yea, well good luck trying that when IQ's in Tiger Mom Mode, kid!   :rofl2: :rofl:

I'm sad, angry and upset that I'm not home to witness the spectacle..... :popcorn:

Oh....I imagine he will think twice...maybe a dozen times before saying it again!!

Still waiting for the text message to come in to see what punishment will be....all I know right now is he's been banished to the Land of Bedroom.

I feel like a news crew sitting outside a courthouse waiting for the big verdict to come in...

Must be the season. Kiddo (15) attempted something similar.

I'm a placid guy, but in this instance:



That was Monday. Things were back on schedule by Wednesday.

OOOooooo!!!

Let's compare notes of the crime.

Thus far, CSI has informed of the following:

At around 5 pm, the boy asked his mom to drive him to town (to the mall) to see his friends.  The plan was ill conceived from the get-go, as IQ and the boy had just returned from town (he goes to school there).  Apparently forgetting that our time travel portal was broken, he didn't seem to think it was a big deal to go on the 75km round trip again.  Since we try and operate on the honor system, IQ said "I'll take you if your homework is done and your bedroom is spotless."  This seemed like a very fair trade as those 2 items are part of his "must do before anything else" list anyways.  He answered in the affirmative that both items were done.  We always check his homework anyways, and IQ said it was done.  But when IQ checked his bedroom she used words such as "tornado", "bomb blast" and "train wreck" when describing the condition of the room.

So she said NO.  Because A) Being dishonest  B) Apocalypse bedroom

At this point he was angry and this is when he informed her that IT WAS HER JOB TO DRIVE HIM AROUND!  IQ said it took several seconds for her to rearrange her jaw, which had apparently fallen to the floor. 

So after some stern looks and stern words, he's in the bedroom cleaning it up.

As punishment, IQ is debating charging him for gas and her time the next time he needs a ride somewhere.

Yep.  She averages 10L/100km...

So figure around $10 or so for the trip in gas.

I am at a decent age.  Where they say the darnedest things.  Today I told my son "Drink your water, it will help you get big and strong"  As he likes saying that.  So my 3 year old says "Since When Daddy?"

Couldn't do that.  I don't drink water.  As my son says, you watch too much hockey and beer.  I am up to 3 beers a week, and average 1.5 hockey games a week now.  I think I have a problem.

I am putting his in here on behalf of my wife.  I really don't care. 

The hospital is taking wifi privileges away from staff.  So they can't use wifi on their phones and tablets.  Apparently the network was severely slowing down. 

She will probably give me a list of what she wants, and put it on a micro sd card.  That will last a month.  Then she will ask to increase her data plan.  Have to prepare for this argument...

I don't understand.

Why does she need WiFi at work.  Isn't she supposed to you know....work?

Can't speak to other staff, but doctors I know use their phones at work continuously.  Not only for emails and other forms of communication, but they use apps and so on for work all the time.  They have replaced computers and laptops with mobile devices.
