the note

On January 4th, 2010, a note was left on my pillow from my dearest 7-year old.

After a night of much bickering back and forth between the two of us, I had finally had enough. I told him he needed to go to his room. He declined. I then made it known that declining an invitation to go to your room from your mom was unacceptable and that he needed to head that way speedy quick. He again declined. I took away the his privileges for the Wii. Anger. Tears. Apologies. Unfortunately, all too late.

The sentence stood..."to your room!"

When Kev headed upstairs to release the prisoner, he found the note. It read,

"Mom I cant do this but its the only way"

It's official...I had been served Koby's first runaway note. I smiled because I am sure there will be many more of these notes to come in the future.
