Buzz hasn't been kicked out of school yet...but believe me , it's a near thing ! The first day or two the school wanted to kick him out and the bus driver wanted to kick him off the bus...You see, when he refused to take Buzz home with him he took it personally and decided he'd just go home with somebody else.........each one who got off the bus...actually....Frantic Mommie finally talks the Doc into prescribing him some calm down pills...it was either that or send him to school with a few concrete blocks tied around his neck....Ah, the peace and quiet that descended upon the Kindergarten class come morning.....Oh SHOOT!!!! The pill wore off about noon and Buzz proceeded to do everything he missed that morning ! FRANTIC Mommie heads back to the Dr with very strongly worded notes/threats from the teacher , principal AND bus driver clutched in her shaking hand.....Ahhhhhhh....He gets another pill at noon...this carries him through until he gets home...where he makes up for the 'fun' he missed at school.....Other kids may go home from Kindergarten with a red stamp on the back of their hand if they're bad....Buzz goes home with a red HAND from all the stamps....So far only one hand though, so he's still got room on the other hand.. Luckily, Mommie has made a trip to the pound and adopted a young mini Pinscher for Buzz to play with...Ah.......fun and games...fun and games...They take turns chasing each other.....Sounds of a happy child laughing and laughing...What a perfect Saturday afternoon........Uh oh.....Ol' Kato ' decides chasing a 'wired' 4 year old around the yard in August is for the birds and decides to take a siesta in the shade......Buzz is still raring to go and decides to roust the slacker out from behind the bush with a convenient fallen limb........Mommie gets into the 'act' and Buzz is sent to his least favorite place....Time out in his bedroom....A much wiser puppy opts for a drink of cool water and a nap ....far away from Buzz....I called to talk to him later that day and asked him what he'd been up to....He said " I been badbadbadbadbadbadBADbadBadbad ! I grounded...." It's sinking into his head that school, far from being the wonderful place he's been dreaming of going all these years is not all it's cracked up to be....Said " I gonna have to go to school FOREEEVER !'' Even the big yellow bus isn't near as much fun as he thought it would be...apparently the driver won't take you home with him, or let you go home with friendly kids and he makes you stay on there whether you want to or not.....Sigh.....He did have a hot romance going with a chick named StarrrLa...lots of hugging, kissing and smiling, but that's over already...I asked him about it and he said '' I got a bad feeling about her, so I quit talking to her " There was another little boy trying to cozy up to ol StarrrLa ..which doesn't surprise me, given her 'friendly' ways.....Hmmnnn... Somehow he got the idea if he's bad at school he won't have to go...'Mommie said'....No way , I can guarantee you that.....I bet Mommie grins like a mule eating saw briers all the way back from the bus stop EVERY morning...and far from looking forward to weekends as she once did...doesn't ! .....I was talking to Son about it and mentioned that she might scare him up by telling him about kids that have to be sent to Reform School, but we both shuddered and made the sign of the cross....That would be like throwing Brer Rabbit into the brier patch, in spades ! Son said possibly military school.....but I don't think they're tough enough to handle him...... Well, I talked to Mommie today .....which consist of us talking a few words, then she excuses herself to tell Buzz....'Get out of the room where Daddy's working so you don't get hurt...Get out of the room where Daddy's working so you don't get hurt...Get ...." You get the picture...She says repeating things seems to work best....Ahh..."He left the room....Oh Crap ! He's back in there....." Good news though...He got a good conduct stamp from school today , and given all the facts he is now on the time release pills.....Even the insurance companies of the world can't hold out when Buzz sets his mind to it......I miss that boy !
