msbelle, I think that's a perfectly good way to handle it. It's acknowledging that you know he's not telling the truth about it but since it's not a huge deal (and doesn't affect a grade) maybe he'll be comfortable when he realizes he doesn't have to lie about it. That's a big step, right there.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Msbelle, everyone else gave good advice. I just wanted to say I wish I could help in any way
I saw a driving school today called the "Jesus saves driving." it even had a Mary-in-a-bathtub painted on the side. Wild!

To add to the drama, one of the high-profile arrestees was a beloved doctor in the small town, and he committed suicde the day after his arrest. Then another suspect committed suicide two days later.
Sounds suspiciously curse like to me.

I went to the doctor today. It was supposed to be a relatively quick appointment -- look at blood test results, adjust meds if needed, make another appointment for six months from now.
Well, I got called in right around my appointment time. Height, weight, blood pressure, and so on. Then the nurse left and told me that he'd tell the doctor I was ready. It was then an hour until the doctor actually came in. And then he checked the computer, and my blood test results weren't there. Most likely, they got coded wrong, so I've got to call the place where I had the tests done and ask them to find them and fax them to the doctor.
That was a complete waste of an afternoon.

Ugh. Emmett did something Shitty at camp today and there will be a Talk with both his mother and me tonight, and a (very unhappy making for him) Consequence.
He's been all giddy with summer happiness the last three weeks but now it will be crushed under the shiny boot of doom.
I don't like to be the boot, but boot I must.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
For my birthday, I got cramps, a hellacious drive to the UPS depot, new shoes and a very busy day.

Thanks to Jilli I find myself lusting after Fluevogs, and shoes purchased on sale. Am now contemplating either these or these.

Oh dear. Only one of those makes a good birthday present.
