P squared

One of Parker's teachers at school likes to call him P squared. (parker pennington) We have taken up the nickname, along with P-Tar.
When the boys were younger we used to call Joseph, Joe-bugs, Caden, Cady-bugs, and Parker, P-Dog. One day Parker said, "Not P-Dog, Dog P." We all got a great laugh out of that one.
Parker keeps us ROLLING around here. He is the funniest person I have ever met. If you are down he will definately keep you laughing.

Parker got in trouble yesterday in gym.
Normally I do not brag about these kinds of things, but this time is a little different.
Parker was in gym and some kid said, "I bet that you can't kick the basketball into the net on the other side of the gym." SO, in typical boy fashion, he said "You want to bet?" In his words, "I took the ball and just let go and that ball hit nothing but net mom. It was SO AWESOME!!"
Well, unfortunately the gym teacher didn't think that it was SO AWESOME. He got a write off. (remember those? I didn't even think that they gave those out anymore) It may sound like I am griping. I am not. I am not one of those parents who think that they have "perfect kids". In fact mine are the biggest knot heads that are around. If a teacher needs to punish my kids, I say go right ahead. I'll do it too when they get home.

Anyway, this is his write off (in his words, not mine).

I shouldn't kick the basketball because it could hit the roof and the light can fall and explode and send shards of glass flying and hit someone who could bump the bleachers and the rail can fall and hit a book that can fall on the floor and make a loud noise and someone would flinch and their necklace could fly off and get lost. It is bad because people could get hurt and not participate later so we should be safe with gym equipment and not play around. We should be a dog and think what will happen to others that is why we should be safe with stuffs in Mr. ****** class or we will have to write a paper on how to be safe.

Parker says that his gym teacher likes to say "stuffs" a lot. Such as, "You all get ready and I will go and get the stuffs." He also said that he tells them to be like dogs. Not giraffes or pumas. Dogs. Because dogs look out for each other in the pack.
I asked Parker what the gym teacher said when he gave him his write off. Personally, I don't think that I could be that bold and brash. He said that he laughed and handed it back to him and told him not to be kicking any more balls. Parker said "Yes Sir!"
He has promised that it will not happen again.
