Dear son
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye to:
the fresh air
to video games
to TV
to the radio
to any life that does not involve you your room and a book or notepad. That is unless it involves chores or homework of course.
As you are saying your goodbye realize this one thing my dear boy. YOU are the one who made it this way. Let me run this down one more time. It is not OK under any circumstance to lay your hands on another person. Not matter how valiant you THINK you are being. It is never OK to challenge a child to a fight, after you punched said individual in the back.
You called me and your first words from the principals office were "I'm sorry" darn right you are!! You know better. How dare you! Since when has it been ok and from whom did you learn that hitting is an acceptable form of communication??
Were all of the adults gone? No teachers on campus? Child I know you know better. You need to get that temper in check immediately.
I think cooling off in your room this week will help with that. Oh and you are going to love me standing at the bus stop with you in the mornings too. Act like an uncivilized child... ugh back to square one.
Oh let me add if you get home and "I don't know" and "I didn't think" are your only answers to my multitude of inquires.... I will bust out the thesaurus to help your word selection.
