And I'm overwhelmed by the cops, no telling how scared he was... I'm glad it worked out this way and hopefully will die down over the weekend.

Boys were meaner in middle school, as I remember, something about having to push a penny along a sidewalk with one's nose as one guy described it...it's all about one-upmanship...but Emperor doesn't deserve that. Things will get better as he has a magnificent mama who raised him right.

I've heard about a billion times from people who don't know better that they just thought he was "eccentric." No. That's autism. I guess he passes, but that's about half the problem, he doesn't appear to warrant any special sensitivity...Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-19750955422905417382014-09-26T13:04:51.238-05:002014-09-26T13:04:51.238-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-42825176345146523992014-09-26T12:30:55.472-05:002014-09-26T12:30:55.472-05:00Good for you...

Some parents get mad because they don't want to accept that their kid is a little jerk.

Then again, that action on my part perhaps enboldened them to more and more stupidly daring things... resulting in what you see here. Mega trouble. Though I take no blame or credit for their actions. They are fully in control of whether they harass our family or not... we are only in control of how we respond to that.<br /><br />I can tell you this, grace-time is over as they have demonstrated repeatedly that they are not appreciative of that, or respectful of our family.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-89964537183534461382014-09-26T02:34:29.246-05:002014-09-26T02:34:29.246-05:00I learned long ago the way to stop these phone cal...I learned long ago the way to stop these phone calls was to keep a loud whistle by the phone and when one of those calls began, you blow the whistle!<br />It's no longer recommended because you can blow out someone's eardrum and cause some deafness, but as far as I'm concerned they deserve it. <br />I'm not sure I'd blow a whistle at children though. <br />I am glad that action has been taken now though.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
