Luke, as you know, is a bit precocious.
He is also just a TINY bit lazy.
I often (okay, every ding-dong day) have to persuade him in a firm way to get his work done. Today was no exception.
"Luke, you just have to write a row of 9's and then you're done! I know you can do it!"
He wailed in pain, "It's like you're TORTURING ME!!!"
He turned to Suzy and said angrily, "I was having a marvelous childhood until all of this happened."
That's me. Torturer extraordinaire.

Omagosh, he said that?! I'd give him extra credit just for using that big word. :)
Love it!!!! the same can be said of us Mom's before the kids came along.
I *knew* it! You kindergarten teachers are just evil! ;-)
Tell him to write his 9's or he gets the hose again!
i can see it...i mean way to keep them on task...smiles.
LOVE the dramatics from a little guy - it's always amusing when it's someone else's kid. lol.
Oh God, what a riot! No insult to the rest of the kids intended, but don't you just LOVE the smart ones???
Wow, you are strict!LOL
I love the house in your previous post,I hope everything works out for you.
I am so in love with Luke.
Since you are one of my favorite people who makes me laugh all the time I thought I'd give you a laugh in return.
Today, my oh-so-sweet 18-year old senior was suspended with two other boys for chewing at school. What did he say to the assistant principal? He said, "We went for a group poop and decided a dip sounded good". Another proud moment in parenting. (He may just be the grown version of Frank.)
Love him. Sounds like someone has done a lot of earlier work with him. That vocab is marvelous.
Tell him, "Those aren't '9's, those are upside down '6's. Do it again!" and watch his little mind implode.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Luke will most definitely end up on stage someday. He's such a diva!!!
Oh Luke, no truer words were ever spoken ..
I was having a marvelous childhood until THIS happened !
Brilliant !
I've got 23 terrorists that I may send your way... they ALL kicked my @$$ today. ~You know those days, where everything goes -just right-, you have all the answers and the perfect timing and you can PRACTICALLY see the light bulbs turning on in their heads... Yeah, TODAY was NOT that day.
Luke sort of reminds me of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!
That kid is awesome!!!!!! or should I say marvelous?
But he's clever! Oh-so-very clever.
P.S. Torturer!! :)
What is in the water out there? It's obviously having a strange effect on the kids.
I love the idea of a kid who's too lazy to write some 9's using the words marvelous childhood...in the past tense!
Hahaha...you sure make kindergarten fun
Luke, I am your mother.
I was just tweeting about how i ruined my step daughter (12 yr old)'s life and I just blogged about my son's injury that left him "maimed" -- they certainly are DRAMA queens and kings aren't they?
Great post!
We figured out a while back that we could punish our children by making them write sentences. A couple of pages of "I will remember to pick up my dirty clothes" is far more effective than anything else we tried. They absolutely hate it!
Gotta love the Old School techniques! :)
Luke sounds quite aggravated you are single handedly RUINING his childhood. Too funny!
Oh Gayle I can beat that (or at least compete). My (now 22) son got suspended for farting as a senior. When I was called I was I said to the principal you really are suspending him for this. He said it was a frequent problem. I said (rather snotty) you mean someone has been keeping track.....sounds like his teachers were no where near as busy as VodkaMom if they are marking farts!
oh my GOD you guys are cracking me UP! Marking farts? Hell, I'd be busy all ding dong DAY.
