No One's Offered My Child Sex, Drugs, or Alcohol (yet)
1. Offered him crystal meth.
2. Forced him to inhale from a crack pipe.
3. Told him that marijuana is harmless so he should stop being a baby and try some.
4. Dared him to do a shot of hard liquor and then
5. Showed him the flask they have stored in their backpack.
6. Texted him a picture of their boobs.
7. Asked him if he wants to play a kissing game.
8. Attempted to unzip his pants.
9. Threatened to get him in trouble if he doesn't do all of the above.
However, a friend just HAD to helpfully remind me that it's only day two. "The kids are still on their best behavior," she said. "There's still a whole school year for all that to happen." Great.
What has happened, however, is that O has come home the past two nights with a LOT of homework. He also says he feels pretty comfortable in class because everyone else is just a big nerd like he is. I love this nerds-so-busy-with-schoolwork-they-have-no-time-to-smoke-meth thing. The worst that's happened is some eighth graders cussed out a sixth grader for cutting them in the lunch line. "They were saying the F-word and everything," O told me.
If that's as bad as it gets, I might be able to deal.
