I come home in shock. My son is Charles, but how can that be? Why have I been so ignorant? Charles was right under my nose and Charles's mother is me. I quickly tell my husband about this, and my husband says "We have been raising a troublemaker." "Yes, and we have to tell Laurie about this and become tougher parents on him". My husband and I call Laurie to the dinner table. My husband says "Laurie we know that you've been lying to us and we've been letting you slide with your misbehavior, but now we won't let you go and we're going to be tougher on you. You're going to change your ways young man or boarding school you'll go. You're going to fix your ways first by apologizing to your teacher. Your mom and I will be there when you do". Laurie yells "Pop you can't make me. I can do whatever I want and you can't stop me". My husband spanks Laurie really hard on the mouth. My husband yells "Laurie stop! Go to your room and that's what you'll do every afternoon after school."
Laurie started crying and did what he was told. Every day since Laurie has been on good behavior and didn't disrespect any grown-ups. Laurie didn't need to go to boarding school after all and was the best-behaving boy in kindergarten.
