I knew this day would come, but I have not been looking forward to it.
Today, Jackson lied right to my face.
TJ picked Jackson up from summer school today, and Jackson said he had a hamburger, muffin and a Gatorade for lunch. When they got home, I asked Jackson what he wanted for lunch, and TJ said he had already had a hamburger. Jackson verified this. I was surprised because I was under the impression that they only had a snack at summer school. So, he did not eat any lunch at home. Tonight, when we are putting Jackson to bed, he informs us he did not have a hamburger at school, just a muffin. Are you kidding me? So, now, not only has my child lied to me today, but I have failed to provide three meals for him. I don't know who I am more angry with-Jackson or myself, for not calling the school and verifying the hamburger story. Didn't even occur to me, since Jax is not in the habit of lying, at least not that I know of.
Punishment-I think I am going to have to take his snack money away for tomorrow. He will be devastated. I don't know if I can do this, since all of the other kids will be eating snack, I will feel bad that he can not get one. Oh, I will think about it in the morning.
