Chit Chat


As Hollywood's teacher would say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree". Hollywood has been talking in class. OK I should really say he is excessively talking to a point that he has had a note or two or ... uhem... three home just since winter brake has been over. We have taken all the things that he treasures most away, computer time, best friend time, PlayStation 2 time... After a long talk with his teacher (who has known my FFP for a very long time), we have come to the conclusion that maybe he needs to be removed from the rest of his group (no it does not matter who he sits with, he will talk to ANYONE who just might listen). Maybe that will make an impression on not just him but the rest of the class too, that just might get his attention. I told her not to give him warnings today, since all the other warnings didn't work he's used them all up. Just move him. We will see. Although it has gone on all year its been pretty controllable as long as I remind him in the morning before he gets out of the car to have a good day and not to talk in class. Not only does he talk in class but he also has a smart alec response to serious questions about how to get his behavior to change. One more way he's just like his daddy, lighten the mood with a laugh. But when Mommy and Daddy are mad, that doesn't really work.



Hollywood and FFP are two peas in a pod. Funny and engaging, smart and sarcastic ... I just wish they had a volume down button or a mute button at the pertinent times, like in the classroom, or a restaurant per say.
