Well I stopped in to visit the kids for a day or so and I found out my oldest son got in trouble at school. When I came in the house I went upstairs and everyone was in his room. After a few minutes my father looked at him and told him he had to tell me. So everyone but me and him left the room.

He told me he got in trouble for saying bad language during lunch. I asked him what he said and he told me the f word. I asked him what he was talking about when he said it and it seems he was talking about things his little brother says and that was one of the words.

So I asked him what his grandpa said. He told me that grandpa got mad and yelled. Then I asked him if grandpa heard it from him, or if he had to read it out of the daily school report notepad. He had told my dad before he read it. So I told him I was sorry his grandpa had yelled at him that it wasn’t the right thing to do.

Then I asked him what kind of trouble he is going to get in at school. He told me during recess today he has to go see the principal. He thinks that will be his only punishment. I told him they may tell him he can’t go on his field trip this week. He doesn’t seem to happy about that. Either way I told him he will have to come home today and tell us what his punishment was and that if I didn’t think it was good enough that we would add to it.

He told me okay and that was the end of it.

Now my dad is telling me that next time it happens he wants to put hot sauce on my child’s tongue. I don’t think thats really needed. I think thats a bit extreme but its something I suppose I will have to argue with him. It just doesn’t seem like thats the correct way to handle it. In my life I don’t think I have ever heard of washing out mouth with soap or any similar activity actually working. People still grew up to swear. So why use that method? Seems illogical.

Anyways not much else to report really.
