Okay, I think I've calmed down now. I'm at church waiting for Luke to get out of his class. We didn't have choir tonite because the youth choir is singing Sunday. Their production is Sunday night.

On the way here, bringing both boys, I called the person who coordinates our snack bar and gate guards. Jr. works for her.

This afternoon, Jr. and friends were hanging around the front desk. That's verbotten, especially by co-workers not on duty. The gate guard asked them to step back. Jr. smarted off to her. Apparently he thinks he can get away with stuff because Dad's the boss. He's so flippin' clueless sometimes.

THEN, it was reported to me and he confirmed this, he said to her "I'll just come over there and slit your throat." He said he was joking. I said I didn't care that was NEVER appropriate.

I turned the truck around and sent him in the house. He'll miss youth group and a rehearsal afterwards. We had to deliver snacks for another class, or I would've just kept Luke home as well.

He'd just best hope the bruises don't show under the stage lights.

This is all after I had a father threaten to pull his membership last night after I talked to his son (who was going around yelling "Holy $#1t!" and insulting our workers because he "has more money." The Dad told me "he's not like that."

Oh, yes he is. And one day we'll see that whole family on Jerry Springer because he's got 'em snookered.

But Jr's behavior now reflects doubly bad on me, and I just won't tolerate that.

He's basically a good kid. But not always the brightest crayon in the box.

~sigh~

Wonder where do they keep the sacramental wine...
