Attica! Attica!

Ok, so on Monday this week, we get an e-mail from our younger daughter's teacher. Seems that she was asked to sit out of Suzuki lessons because she was being "disruptive." She also was not listening to her teacher very well in regular classes. Needless to say, this didn't go over very well with Gene and I. We kind of pride ourselves in at least attempting to civilize our kids. So Katie did not have a pleasant evening on Monday, spending most of it in her room. I talked to her about how important it was to behave and listen, blah, blah, blah. Then I threatened not to take her to grandma's house that week (horrors! no spoiling!). So on Tuesday, we get a note saying she had a much better day. Problem solved, right? Not exactly. Today, we get a note telling us she had another good day. Um, over report much? I'm wondering if I should invest in orange jumpsuits and teach her how to whittle soap into the shape of a gun. Sheesh.

LOL! Okay, this is cracking me up! It sounds like you and your hubby are serious about them being civilized - which is of the good.

The funny part is that the teacher keeps reporting... maybe she just wants to reassure YOU that you were a good parent.

Or... maybe there IS something wrong and your younger daughter is holding her "hostage" so she can't really SAY?!?!? =O =P~

I wouldn't put it past the younger girl to do something like that ... except she'd be infinitely more devious.
