Now I know I'm not a spring chicken exactly. But I just took my son who is 10 in the 4th Grade to his first dance....
I don't know what was more amusing, the little mini mosh pits to club music or the cops.....

Hell, no! My son's ADD, he's allowed sugar or caffeine but never both at the same time LOL. And he's at that "I know everything, you don't" stage. We had a very long talk about it, to the tune that as smart as he is and gets, I will ALWAYS be older and wiser and he needs to just learn to keep his mouth shut laugh laugh Well, that was the gist of it anyway!

OMG, Gypsy, too funny! I would have had to kill mine! Mine absolutely cannot lie to me, at least so far. I was a bit of a wild child myself, he won't get too far before I figure things out. Thing is, I never liked rules that made no sense so his one rule is that as long as he's not hurting himself or anyone else and it's legal, he can pretty much do what he likes. So far, with the exception of school work, he's a pretty good kid. Takes all the fun out breaking rules when you don't have many!

ya mine is pretty good too, and yes with the exception of school work.......Ive decided his brain waves come from his father and I had nothing to do with his lack of them!!!laugh laugh laugh laugh

Oh and I figure when he is about 30 he will finally realize that he wasnt as smart as he thought he was.....:wink:

Mine is smart, his dad is too, in his own way, but he (ex) lacks any kind of self-discipline or responsibility. Unfortunately, my son has inherited that, drives me out of my mind!

30, you think it'll take that long? I figure mine'll figure it out when I toss his butt at 18 to fend for himself. I'll let him come home when he realizes exactly how good he's got it laugh laugh laugh

A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath.

"Mom", he asked, "Are these my brains?"

"Not yet," she replied.

lol...he's got the attutide down. he's a good boy though. he had fun at the dance though which is all that matters. let me ask this. i was concerned by 2 things though

on the paper they sent out to inform of the dance they said it was a $5 admission fee. that's fine. but it also said pizza and soda were to be provided. well it turns out that it wasn't free.and he was planning on eating that for dinner. so he didn't eat until 9:30-he only had a small snack at 4 that nite. another thing was i noticed when picking up there was no one checking to see who the kids were leaving with. to me that is a security thing. i understand that this wasn't a school function (local street hockey) but at the same time these are our kids, why woudln't you want to make sure they are safe? do i have a valid reason for being concerned?

Well, I can tell you at my son's school, they always check to see who's picking up but for a non-school function, they're not bound by the same rules. As for being concerned, I would be. I would maybe make a suggestion to that effect, for the next time. It's possible they either just didn't think about it or just didn't have enough volunteers for the job.

And, for most types of these functions, they do have a charge for just about everything. Usually, it's not much, $1 or so. But, you might want to slip him an extra $5 or so, in the future, just in case. Those notices are usually less than clear.

Glad he had a good time!
