  • Chewlee And Lying

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    Chewlee has started lying lately and it's mostly about stupid stuff.  It's hard to fathom why it started or just when but it has to stop we told her today.  Every time she lies, she will be punished by not being allowed certain privileges.  She won't be able to go play with Sam (one of her lies today was about him).  She said she hadn't played with him when we knew she had been there.  I had given her permission to go play at his house and I spoke to his mother to let her know the Beast was on his way over to pick her up.  She had, however, grabbed her bike and was on her way home so she didn't know the Beast knew about her playing with Sam.  I guess she thought she could get another half hour or so to play with him before it got dark.

    Now how she forgot about the fact that *I* knew about her playing there AND I had given her permission, I have no clue.  And why wouldn't I be talking to the Beast?  Kids!  BUT.....now she's not going to be able to play with either Sam or Ian for a while.  I'm not sure but the Beast may also withhold allowing her to play with Birdie's kids, too.  I know THAT will be a killer for her.  BUT....the Beast may talk to Birdie and have her talk to Chewlee about lying and God.  Chewlee listens to what Birdie has to say about the things that God likes and doesn't like.  She takes it very seriously.  So we shall see what happens.

    I got my new computer chair today.  I must have sat in and tried about 20 different chairs including the new tempurpedic chairs, which were really great but not the only good ones on the market.  When the Beast tried out the one I picked out, he decided he wanted one for himself, too.  Now all I need to do is find the desk I want.  I think I want to show the Beast the kind of carpeting we will put in here once we get the room painted or at least the kind I think will work out the best.  That way, once the painting is done, if he runs across a good deal on his rounds, he can just order it and have it installed.  If he gets the general type I want, the rest won't matter.  I want a Berber type carpet.  It wears well and looks nice.  We had Berber in most of our rooms in both our Margate house and the house in Port Charlotte.  Here we will only have the two rooms with carpeting....my computer room and the guest bedroom.

    The Princess, when told about Chewlee's lying, had a simple solution.  Just whoop her ass and she won't lie because she doesn't like her ass whooped.  When I told Chewlee what her mother said, she wanted to know two things...#1....is her daddy going to spank her tonight for lying?  and #2....are we going to beat her with our hands or using a belt? 

    Love you all.  I'm tired tonight and heading for bed early.  Be good and have a great weekend.
