Off the Reading List

Alex called his gym teacher a jerk today - repeatedly. Completely appalled, I asked him where he learned that word. His response, "It's from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Gregory says it to Roderick". And here I expected he learned it from a friend or from TV. But no - he learned it from a book.

So - the entire Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is now banned in the Wooden house. I have some not-so-happy campers.

P.S. - They couldn't have gym today as usually scheduled because the 3rd graders were practicing for their musical. If you're wondering what set him off...it was a schedule change...of course :( Nonetheless, the dude is wii-less, DS-less, computer-less, treat-less, nightime reading-less, morning bus privilege-less until Thursday...assuming he makes better choices Tues/Wed. It's so not fair that consequences for kids have to bring dread upon the parents as well!!!!
