The fun began when I picked DS up after school. He stays at "the cousins" until I get off work. Well, when I got there today. The cousins' son said that DS had been on the computer again and that he had to do a scan to erase some spyware that was on there from something DS had downloaded. Now, he knows not to get on that computer. He's been told AT LEAST three times. That is their business computer. The cousins went out of town today and he was at the house by himself for about 30 minutes. I guess he figured it was okay since nobody was home? 
Where's the logic, I ask you? Is it like the philosophy question about the tree falling in the woods? Not to mention that he has been banned from the computer, PSP and Game Cube until I get a pack of test papers with nothing less than a B. (Look - he's just been pre-tested for the gifted program. He got a 96% on the OLSAT, so, I'm not putting up with C's or lower.)
Of course, when I confronted him about it, he denied being on the computer at all. What do I look like over here? A pile of bricks??? Jeez, that burns me up. I hate it when he thinks I'm that stupid.
It REALLY chaps my hide. When I told him I knew how to trace the websites he looked at he looked at me like I was the wicked witch of the Mid South. Well, I told him he wasn't OLD ENOUGH to look at me like that - even if he DID learn that look from me. SO THERE.
The merriment continued after I looked down at his hands. He'd been looking down the whole time and I wanted to know what was so fascinating. Well, lo and behold - and oh my word! There it was - on the right hand pinky finger - a gold ring!!!!
What the??? "Where did you get THAT???", I asked. "Patricia gave it to me.", He said. "Why?" "Because her nickname is Jade and I gave her that jade thing that I found in the bowl (where we keep our keys, etc)." Ummn...HELLO?? You gave that to me a year ago! Do you not remember? I told him he was to return the ring 1st thing in the morning. He is 11 - NOT 20. I know y'all might think I am overreacting, but I will not have my 11 year old son accepting jewelry from girls.
Okay - rant over. Thanks for listening.

We used to joke that my nephew (who is turning 19) was going through PMS ~ Pre Man Syndrome.
I told him that he was waaaaaaaaay too young for the girl-boy thing but he said they were asking all their friends if they were going. You still could have picked my jaw off the floor when he announced that..
