All of the spitting, sputtering, crying, sobbing, gyrations, and general self abuse at the kitchen table seemed to pay dividends at the end of the school year. It turns out Tallmonster is not as dumb as he thinks or acts. He did very well and we had to take a group shot in order to [...]

It is always such a joy to get Tallmonster to do his homework. The gnashing of teeth, the howling in pain, and the emotional distress makes for a truly enjoyable evening. All of us simply shake our heads in disbelief and ignore him, but tonight we decided to take some pictures to lighten the mood.

Daddy and Tallmonster went over to Holy Cross Elementary in Dewitt for a chess tournament today. Four matches later and Tallmonster was whipped. He got skunked, shut-out, nota.
