Percy was chased by a Cyclops today and I think he handled it very maturely. Meaning he did not scream and panic. This is a good sign, but the school recommends he sees a special doctor. Perhaps he shouldn't have sworn to everyone near him that the strange man had one eye beneath the brim of his blue fedora. My poor boy keeps telling me how some weird monster has followed him at least once a week, but I don't know if he's ready to hear it.
Deadly Dianna (i.e. my charming boss) said that I need to get a boyfriend and signed me up on a dating sight called "Cupid's Arrow." I met a person called Gabe Ugliano who stated that he is 'kind, loving and charming'. And I was stupid enough to believe him for long enough to ask him on a date. At Retro Diner. Tomorrow.
I have also decided to not call a doctor, but instead give Percy 'special' stranger danger lessons. Lesson one: Where to target on a man so it hurts. A lot. And Percy was a pretty good student, especially when we practiced on his teddy bear. he vowed to protect me from any 'weirdo dudes.' Which is exactly why Percy doesn't know I'm meeting Gabe tomorrow.

Well, Gabe is the world's biggest idiot. Brought him back to the apartment today- my 7-year-old Percy flattened Gabe, a 35 year old. Then the idiot made it even worse by telling my poor boy 'me and your Mommy are very good friends'. Percy bit his nose until it bled pretty badly (I guess we need one man in the house.) The only way I can stick with that jerk is knowing his disgusting smell will keep the monsters from finding Percy. I'm hoping Percy wasn't paying attention when Gabe swore so loud with words I've never even heard before, the birds upped and left from the roof.
In the past few months, I have had 11 angry letters from his school- Percy's, not Gabe's. Really, they're all saying they want him out by the end of this year. He's got ADHD and dyslexia. Tried him out on some of the original Greek Homer's The Iliad today, and he read it perfectly. Some of the 'incidents' aren't that bad though- only 3 of them involve children being pushed out the window, and Percy told me that 'they started it.' None of them were really even hurt, only one was hospitalised. And the school's insurance covered it, anyway. Then there was a really weird one about swimming lessons- they were blaming him for the swimming pool being ruined. Percy explained it to me: 'the water went whoosh when I stared at it'. So he's definitely his son. The gods know what the gym coach saw through the Mist.

Percy and Gabe are out on a bonding trip today. I'm just praying they don't get out of control
