Darryl reading session II

Man, Darryl is lazy. Smart but Lazy. He has zero focus. I think that is what left me exhausted. My son is lazy. He is so cute and kind. But I need to kick his ass a little.

I had to give him an ultimatum to spell every frigging word. He kept trying all these diversion tactics. Dadda, I can't spell unless I have my blanky. Dadda, I cannot spell unless I have my handcups (handcuffs). Dadda, what if we go outside instead?

JUST SPELL 'CAT'!!! You have spelled 'AT'! You have spelled 'BAT'! You have spelled 'MAT'!

SPELL CAT!!!

Dadda, I can't spell if you are yelling at me.

Spell it or you don't get any more Ritz crackers.

C-A-T

Thank you....

But I will wear him down. He has no idea how neurotic his father can be. He will read by Dec 22nd 2009. He loves being read to. He knows how to spell and read....he just needs a carrot in front of him 24 hours a day and the carrot needs to grow and change.

He also learned OX, BOX and SOX. And TR, TRUCK, TREE.
