[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 206879, member: 3419"] Aiyaiyai! It started to rain but we drove to the field anyway. The game was rained out. difficult child was disappointed but held it well... until ... we realized that the sushi restaurant was closed on Monday nights ... and then he said he wanted to go home and watch TV, and I reminded him "No TV on school nights until you bring up your English D to a B." The word "NO" has magical properties. Or, they're a curse. He exploded. Okay, he was already miffed because when we came home from testing, he carried in the mail. We both had our arms full, and he deliberately blocked my way to the door, roughhousing, so I put the key into his armpit and pretended he was the door. He did not think it was funny and the mail fell to the ground. (Hey they can dish it out but they can't take it. :( ) I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but apparently it bothered him so much he let it simmer, and that's when I got his with-both barrels after the game was cancelled and the sushi bar was closed. I pulled into husband's clinic and left difficult child in the car. Good thing, because my back was horrid. I got therapy, hot and cold, and an adjustment and peace and quiet for 20 min. Meanwhile, difficult child cooled down. husband got him out of the car and they drove home separately. That gave me time to make sushi at home. Coincidentally, I had purchased raw tuna yesterday to make for dinner tomorrow. I was going to grill it, but since difficult child was so set on sushi, I decided to thaw it out, make Jap. vinegar rice, and throw in whatever seaweed I could find. Turned out I found it in some miso soup pkts! Once everyone got home, they ate like pigs. I asked difficult child if he liked it and of course, he said, "No, I was just hungry." Whatever. He's still awake and hasn't finished his homework ... Sigh ... [/QUOTE]
