That's the best gawt damn idea you've ever had.

 

[General Malaise]

My son, who's 14 now, has always had a tougher time making friends at school. He doesn't put a lot of time into his appearance. Doesn't care much if his clothes match or not, just that they're comfortable. And he's pretty introverted unless he's with his core group of friends. He's extremely intelligent and spends most of his time in school with his nose in a book. He was attending a school for academically gifted kids and apparently was getting bullied by some of the 'cool kids.' Not sure what qualifications one has to have to be one of the 'cool kids' in the school for the academically gifted, but apparently it involved singling out my son and bullying him regularly.

Now he also comes from a long line of men in my family who internalize everything, don't tell their parents about any problems at school and either ignore things until they go away or deal with them when they come to a head. His bullying apparently came to a head.

For those of you who have ever read or seen the movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," there is a piece of cheese that has been left on the playground forever and if anyone touched it, they would become a pariah of the whole school. Cooties writ large. Well, these boys started something called the "Aidan touch" referring to my son Aidan and informing all the cool kids that they'd better stay away from him, for fear of touching him and catching the "Aidan touch" Of course, I know nothing of this until I get a call from the principal.

Aidan is being suspended for 3 days for getting into a fight at school. According to the teacher, another young male in Aidan's class whispered something in his ear. Aidan, apparently having had enough, round-housed the boy and knocked him flat on his ###. The kid tried to recover, but Aidan got a few more licks in before they were broken up.

I told the principal that I understood and would accept whatever punishment the school thought was appropriate, but that I wanted to understood how and why this happened. After the principal collected and read accounts from other kids that detailed the length and extent of the bullying that the other boy had inflicted upon my son, the principal decided that Aidan would serve a half day suspension, with credit for time served and the other boy was suspended an extra day. Publicly, in front of the principal and Aidan's mother, I told him that fighting was not the answer and that he should have come to us first. Privately, later on, I told him that while he definitely should have let us know what was going on, that I was glad he kicked the kid's ### and that the little punk deserved everything that was coming to him.

Awesome!

Great news

her pediatrician was actually a little irked at the urgent care people that even suggested diabetes was in play. she said that they had a urine sample that pretty much ruled it out, that the blood glucose they took was elevated, but not much, and was probably the result of a high-carb meal (turkey tacos with flour tortillas).

It was Frito Day at the office. What is wrong with these people?

Glad to hear the good news on roverkid.

Went to a Boys & Girls Club event this morning that involved chaperoning a 9 year old kid to help him appropriately spend $100 (on a gift card) for back to school clothes, shoes, etc. He had no interest in the clothes. He wanted a pair of Vans and then he didn't really give a damn about the rest of it. And I wouldn't have either at his age. What he really wanted, though, was a new controller for his XBOX 360 so he could get back to playing Grand Theft Auto (5, I think?). WTF?

When I was a kid my parents had this friend named Barry Davis. He looked like a cross between Peter Boyle and George "The Animal" Steel.

I cracked everybody up when I inserted his name into that song. I was quite the card.

So you're saying Barry was quite a handsome man?

As an aside: I am trying hard to separate Peter Boyle and The Animal in my mind's eye. I guess I never saw Peter Boyle eat the foam out of a turnbuckle. Maybe.

I've read that he has a notorious temper when it comes to writers and crew. I don't think he's a total d ick all the time but "insiders" have said that when he reaches a boiling point, it's epic.

It's fine, just have them meet you at your provider's site so they can make sure it works on your network before you hand over the cash. I've done this half a dozen times, no problem.

I bought an iPad through Glyde.com and was pretty satisfied. Sellers can set their own price based on how fast they want to sell, condition etc. You get a few days to bring up any problems and can return it.

Feliz Saturday, mon amies

IB, good on your son. While it would have probably been better if he had confided in his parents, he also solved the problem on his own (probably after days of walking around with knots in his stomach). I'm making him an honorary Ravens fan. Reminds me of that NBA player several years ago who thought his wife was being threatened as she sat in the stands. He left the bench to protect her. He broke the rules, but still did the right thing.

Bob's as good a combination of "kind" and "badass" I know

Forgot to update the specials board. Tonight's was two grilled cheeses (American and Swiss on both) and some lovely Bush's baked beans on the side. It was quite pleasant for a 6am feeding.
