beth - I did touch on much of what you suggested, from a slightly different angle, but still, same ideas.
I also drew some other parallels and had him look at his behavior from a different viewpoint.
Luckily his teacher really likes him so I can also point out that he has someone on his side and this behavior stuff is ALL HIM. She e-mails me, so we have good lines of communication.
I also reminded him that part of the reason we get so upset is that we KNOW he knows how to act right. It makes stuff like this so much worse.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I figured you did, suzi. and CJ is a good kid.
has he read Among the Hidden ?
my new favorite author. running out of Time by Haddix was really good too. She write kid's books that are too hard for me to put down. In among the hidden the main character is a third child in a world where only two kids are allowed. Really well done - I need to get the second book. and - just as a BTW, this kid's life is not fair.

Thanks for the suggestion. We were just trying to pick something from the grown-up books. I know K-Bug has stuff he might also like, but she STILL ISN'T HOME, and no, she isn't at work. Gah....children.

I've been making a lot of kids read Among the hidden.

I'm hoping there will be cute people there. Of course, now I need an outfit--it's a seven deadly sins party!

It must have been awkward having the people at the restaurant falling down dead from the cute.

Am trying to type narrative comments. Kitten on lap/chest makes typing difficult. He's purring too loud too disturb. One finger typing getting old.

Oh, I did that once. showed up with tousled hair, in a little nightie and a silk robe. I lounged on a couch and had people bring me drinks. Good times. Actually, I think that meara was at that party.
