It was a long day..go-kart finished, except for wheels etc. They started painting this evening. I was upset with Ben twice today. We have other neighborhood kids who are making a go-kart. Ben and crew went over to check their's out. At some point, Ben picked up his friend and tossed him into the other boys go-kart. A piece of wood split and broke. I witnessed most of it. It upset the boy so much he went inside bawling. I went over and yelled at Ben. I told Ben's crew to fix it. They found a piece of replacement wood and brought it over. Longer story short, it will be fine.
Jack, was hired to write a book for a huge insurance company in West Des Moines. The project lasted over a year. Tonight, Ben fabricated a story about his dad that set me off again. Ben told his friend he overheard Jack in his office reading an e-mail, about a book revision. Jack slammed his fist on his desk and started cursing. Since Jack picked Ben up I didn't know how to react, it sounded nothing like Jack... all I know was Ben's friend laughed.
After Ben's shower, he told me he made that story up, because he thought it sounded funny. I told Ben there is nothing funny about the story...then went on to tell him to never disrespect his father again that way, I said he was a professional. Ben ate crow twice today...somehow I've got to teach him to keep me out of the kitchen...so I won't have to make him eat it again.
