The School Holidays Commence............

Friday was the last day of Blaine's first year at primary school.  We have survived the first year without some form or metal breakdown, not turning into a raving alcoholic (although being pregnant helped with that) and Blaine never got expelled.  Result.  He was in a right grump in the morning, didn't appear to happy about this (he seems to like school for some mad reason) so wasn't really co-operating at all.  Unfortunately I had to leave early for work so Mum was left to deal with him. Shame.  Mum somehow managed to get him to school without having a breakdown/resorting to wine or selling him on E-Bay, so well done her.  So off he popped - for his very last day, with instructions to "remember and hand out your party invitations - they are in your bag"  Of course he forgot.

Blaine finished school at 3:15pm, I was still stuck at work so mum picked him up.  So the holidays commenced......

To start the school holidays Blaine decided that he might as well be a tad naughty and piss in next door neighbours garden. Over her wall, while her visitors are watching. The visitors thought it was funny.  My neighbour didn't.  Luckily I was at work...... Mum, being all old and experienced, dealt with the neighbour in a polite manner and without any violence, while Blaine hid in his room.  The neighbour was a tad pissed off (rightly so) and now thinks Blaine should probably get an ASBO.  When I arrive home from work my mum tells me the news and I have to speak to Blaine.  Sigh.  "I'm sorry!" He said immediately - first sign of guilt.  "Sorry for what?" I ask..... he ponders, I can see his mind working, he's thinking "hmmmm....I don't think she knows, so I think I'll lie"  "Nothing" is his reply "I didn't do anything" Ahhhh the phrase that just hammers home the guilt "I didn't do anything"  I ignore his plea of innocence and ask him what on earth possessed him to piss on the neighbours wall "I needed to pee" was his innocent response, "I was proper bursting, I couldn't keep it in" another sigh.  "Blaine - the next time you need to pee you must do it in the toilet, you can't just pee anywhere!" Blaine ponders this for a moment..... "can I pee in our garden?"  "No" "Can I pee in the shed?" WTF?!?  NO! NO PEEING OUTSIDE!

I think it's going to be a looooooong summer holiday......

I then went to the pub.
