trystinnToday when I picked up Jason, Brandy asked if I could step out of the car and speak with her. I felt like I was getting a ticket, geesh!
Apparently, the kiddos got busted and we've been asked not to let them use the computers anymore. We can allow him to video chat with his parents, but we have to be right there next to him supervising. We've been allowing him to video chat while he was in the living room with us until now and frankly, the biggest concern we've had so far was Jason's tendency to tell each of us that the other did his homework with him! Yes, we fell for this exactly twice. Hey, what can I say, we're new to teen parenting.
Frankly, I don't even want to know what happened. What a wimp, eh? I imagine they've all been video chatting with each other and something was said, someone got upset, etc. So today, Jason is going to get regular farm chores. Whee!
Update: Actually, it was pretty painless. I had him clean out every single water bin, bowl and bottle, the kiddy pool and even grabbed some old, icky food bowls and the like out of the shed coop and had him wash those, too! Woot-woot! We is clean!
Granted, it took twice as long having him do all the gross farm chores around here than it would take me or the Minion. He'll get a few more supervised episodes, then he's gonna do it all by himself. Likely get him all sorted out just in time to send him home!
Meanwhile, I'm plotting to have him paint my shed coop this weekend! Buhawahahahahahaaa!

Around here, grounding kids from the Internet is pretty much the norm.
