Bryce-isn't

So usually we have Bryce-isms. But not today! Bryce, apparently, has been getting bullied at school by a boy that is 8 years old and in his class. He has been held back and has a few problems. So he is a bigger kid (obviously) for a first grader. Anyhow, we just found out yesterday that Bryce has been getting picked on by this kid. Well, Bryce couldn't take it any longer. So when this kid had Bryce literally cornered with 2 chairs Bryce pulled down his pants (and underwear) and said, "I am going to pee in your mouth if you don't leave me alone!" YEP! That's my boy! Yesterday for about the first hour it wasn't funny. In fact, I was pretty mad! But now I can't stop laughing! Some of the comments that came so sincerely and honestly out of Bryce were, "But mom! You never said we had to be modest at school!" Which, technically, he is right! We have been teaching to change clothes in different rooms at home and not to run around in just your underwear. We never have expanded outside the walls of our home! (mental note: add more to areas of modest behavior!) Then when we were asking Bryce to help us come up with a punishment for this he said (and keep in mind, Bryce doesn't eat breakfast well if it is oatmeal, craem of wheat or cracked wheat.....which is ALL we seem to eat in the winter) he said, "I think I should go without breakfast for a week." I lost it there! I started laughing so hard! I said, "You don't eat breakfast anyhow! Besides, you need to eat. We will not take away food from you." Then Bryce said, "I don't need food. Just water." I started laughing again! OH! What a day! Anyhow, Santa isn't coming for Bryce since he made the naughty list. Bryce also has no TV for 3 days and is on his bed reading for 3 days (which really isn't a punishment for him....the TV is....and Santa.) So, that is the life with 6 boys! And anyone without sons that sit at the dinner table or in the car or wherever and talk about poop, pee and boofing all the time, might not understand who funny this is after it's all said and done! He is meeting with the principal today so we will see what happens at school! We are taking Elder Wirthlin's advice to laugh at things! (But not while Bryce is around.....well, I guess that didn't work very good for me!) He wrote his letters of apology to the boy and his teacher. So, we'll see what after school brings today! I have a feeling this is just the beginning of our 'fun' school days! At least he is in 1st grade and not 10th!
