Another Mastandrea Boy! This will be so much fun. I pity poor Ellexa and sure do hope she is feeling better. There is nothing so scary as a sick little kid.

Just to let you know what you have in store...Wednesday, my phone rings at work. I have caller ID so immediately can see that it is the boys school. My first thought is O shit, followed by did Cookie smack his skull on the asphalt already this year?

But no, it was Mojo's teacher. Sounding very concerned. She didn't seem angry just worried about him. After she told me what he had pulled off--I was worried to--that he would live.

This is what the teacher told me--Mojo is having a very bad day and I just wanted to warn you before you went and got him at aftercare. So I was like really...What happened? Apparently he was doing some work in class and wrote his 5 backwards. The teacher corrected him and he was like--no this is right, This is the way my mom told me to write them. The teacher said that was well and good--but he would need to write them like the rest of the known universe if he wanted to get them right in class. Then a little while later he said, "and you know what, my mom never lets me have candy." Then it was, "My mom woke me up in the middle of the night."

So I was like, well ok...and she was like no, that's not it. He also refused to get his picture taken and I had to lead him to the stool by his hand. (It was picture day). So she warned me that we might need a reshoot because he was crying so much and was in evil form when they shot the photo.

So I said, Ok I will sit down and talk about it with him and she was like no there's more...He also refused to take his math test. (I would have never thought to have refused to take a test in school). That was the one that put me over the top. John went and got him from extended care and we both spoke to him about how inappropriate his behavior was.

So what do you think happened the next day? That's right I get a note saying he refused to listen to the librarian. Luckily the librarian does aftercare so I got to talk to her and make Mojo apologize. That kid is a reprobate.
