My 8 Kidlets

I am not a happy camper
So  - anyone wanna guess how I spent my morning?  Anyone?  Never mind, you'd never guess.  So I'll have to tell you.

It was not a fun day.  I am a very unhappy camper!

I got a call from Geneva.  They needed me or Jay to come down right away for a special conference with the dean and Andrew's advisor.  It seems that Andrew had gotten himself into trouble by driving Debo's car without a license.  (Relevant quotes: Me - But you don't know how to drive.  Andrew - Actually, I do know how to drive.  I just don't know how to park!)

So, as this little adventure came after a couple of behavior warnings - 1 from last year when he & some buddies were lighting firecrackers and trying to hit the river with them, using a homemade launcher; and 1 from the week before classes started and they barb-b-qued bratwurst in the stairwell because it was raining!!  - the dean has placed Andrew on academic suspension. 

That's not the best part though.  After the dean goes through all of this, Andrew's advisor says, "We really want Andrew to think about changing majors.  His conduct does not lead us to believe that he will succeed at seminary.  I really do not know what to advise except that the chem majors seem to get away with blowing stuff up.  Honestly, that seems like it would better suit Andrew's personality.  I mean, he has shown a penchant for fire and sharp objects!" 

When Andrew then spoke up and said that he really hates chemistry, the advisor said, "Well, then, all I can say is that if you ever bug your mother about not posting enough on her blog, then she is free to retaliate with any stupid story that she can make up about you!!"............................

I admit, I was rather puzzled about it, because it didn't seem to make any sense whatsoever. ;)

That was NOT very nice. I was really pretty worried there.

But then again, knowing Judah and Andrew... it did sound a little too plausible!

That was NOT a nice thing to do to your mother!!
The poor woman can't even eat!
Thank heavens she got a call from her other, much nicer, daughter in California!
Now you have to call your son and tell him to ignore the worried messages that his grandmother left for him.

we watched The Incredible Mr Limpet last night... I guess DS and Don Knotts both need to be careful what they wish for. :)
