Dad’s a bad guy

So I look out the window and I see Tommy standing up in his seat, laughing manically, and swatting at another child. At least that is what I thought I saw. So, to nip things in the bud, I react and rush the bus denouncing their childish behavior and explaining that the bus driver can’t drive the bus safely with them acting as such. So the kids think Tommy’s dad is nuts. Tommy is confused. Mom is angry and I just don’t like myself much. So much for trying to do the right thing. The tv dads make this parenting thing seem so much easier.

Yes, I did call the bus driver and she explained that the kids were just chatting energetically and that the bus has been more peaceful of late. She extended my apology to the children. Mmmmmm. Crow.

The wife has thrown dirty diapers at me. I guess that means I am on the path to being forgiven.

The Internet Is Great For Education

This year I have tried to make a better effort of going to the children’s school book’s publisher’s websites and make use of the online tools. They have quizes and tests and aides to enhance the learning. Homeschooler’s have absolutely embraced the web. I often find great sites like Presidents Secret History that make education fun for the children. Don’t forget, you can also rate your children’s teachers.
