       Gavin Kirby
       By: Jack Date: January 29, 2019, 5:11 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       We have a new boy in the house.
       Gavin is 12 and a friend of Jake's.  Like Jake, he's in 7th
       grade this year.
       Gavin's mom was in a car wreck yesterday.  I don't know all the
       details, but the two of them live alone and he has no local
       relatives.  In this situation, with school in session, it's a
       problem.  His mom notified the doctors or ambulance or someone
       about him, and they contacted CPS.  I'm not sure how my name
       actually came up, but when it came out that he was friend's with
       Jake, it was suggested that I bring him home.
       His mom had surgery yesterday.  I took him to visit last night.
       It was a short visit, since she was pretty out of it.  We're
       going up there after dinner again tonight, and we hope to have
       enough information to make some plans.  He does have relatives
       who can care for him, but it would mean taking him out of
       school, so how long she's going to be out is an important
       factor.
       Gavin's dad lives out of state.  They see each other over the
       summer and at Thanksgiving/Christmas or Christmas/Spring Break,
       and occasional other visits when things work out.  I'm not sure
       how long Dad's not been around, but I talked to Gavin while we
       had some privacy last night.   His parents have been divorced
       several years.  While his mom isn't a spanker, his dad was, and
       has since the divorce, though it takes a lot.  While I don't
       have permission (this isn't an official foster placement, so
       it's kind of a gray area), he pretty much seemed to expect that,
       since he's a boy and I'm a dad, if he acts up, he'll get
       spanked.  On the other hand, his dad never spanked bare, so....
       It turns out that I went to school with one of Gavin's uncles.
       I was friends with him in elementary school, but I don't
       remember spending time with him since about sixth grade.
       Gavin's dad was one of his little brothers, so I knew him, but I
       don't really remember him at all.
       Gavin is small for his age.  I do know he's still 12, but not
       when his birthday is.  He's barely 5', so I'd guess he's not
       pubescent yet, though I've not seen him in less than boxers, so
       I don't know for sure.  I do know that he's cute as heck.
       Because of his situation, I'm going to cut him a lot of extra
       slack, but I'd certainly enjoy an excuse to spank him under
       normal circumstances.
       Jake is staying with us right now, so it's him, Dev, and Gavin
       in the room.  Ryan Tucker will be here tonight, but I think he's
       going to stay in with Colt and Kenny tonight.

       I hope his mom will be alright. He must be very worried, so it's
       not likely he'll be thinking about misbehaving.

       I doubt most boys actually think about misbehaving.  Still, I
       kind of agree, which is also why I said I'd not be very strict
       with him.
       I had to stop by to see his mom today.  There are still a couple
       of problems, so they're going to keep her over the weekend for
       observation, but they're hoping she'll be able to go home
       Monday.  She has a friend who's going to stay a day or two to
       help her settle in, so Gavin will probably go home Tuesday, if
       everything stays on schedule.

       Any updates?
       Also, would it be better for him to stay with you until Mom
       fully recovers?

       Not really.  I did go down and we had temporary guardianship
       papers signed and notarized, so if anything happens, I can deal
       with school or doctors for him.  Fortunately, he also sees Dr.
       Sammy, so medical care won't be a problem if something does come
       up.
       As to her condition, she seems to be stable.   Her blood
       pressure had been running a bit low, and they ran a check in
       case she had some internal bleeding they'd missed, but nothing
       seems to be coming of it.  When we visited last night, they said
       she seemed to be stabilizing.
       As for anymore, they want her to stay over the weekend, they'll
       run some tests Monday morning, and if everything is okay, she'll
       go home that afternoon.

       I doubt it.  He's a 7th grader.  While he probably needs some
       supervision, he seems pretty capable, so I'm sure he'll be able
       to take care of himself, until she starts getting up and around.

       Gavin is still here.  His mom is now home.  They kept her in the
       hospital an extra day, because her blood pressure wasn't
       incredibly stable over the weekend, so they ran a few more tests
       yesterday, but I guess they decided she was okay.
       As I've said before, she has a friend helping her settle in.
       Her friend asked if Gavin can stay a day or two longer than
       planned. For those of you who've never had a prolonged hospital
       stay, it can be a rather major change.  When I was in the
       hospital last year, I was fine in the hospital, but I had a lot
       of trouble after I got home.  I don't know why that should be,
       but I've had others tell me it was true for them as well.
       Of course I answered yes.  Gavin has been no problem.  He's a
       pretty cute little guy with a very spankable little rear, so I
       wouldn't have minded a bit of trouble, but I can live with him
       being well behaved.

       Gavin went home last night for a couple of hours.  I picked him
       up, so I could talk to his mom a bit.  She's mostly on her back,
       but she's starting to get up and get around - she just can't do
       too much at once.
       He's going back over tonight to have supper, though I believe I
       heard they're just getting take out.
       Really nothing else to say - I just wanted to mention they were
       both doing fine.

       Did Gavin officially move back with mom? How did your determine
       that he was not spanked bare bottom? Has he come back for any
       more visits? Do you know how his behavior has been lately?

       Gavin never officially lived with me - he was just here while
       his mom was in the hospital, but he's been back home for a
       couple of months now.

       I always try to work conversations with new boys around to
       spanking, if I can do it without being rude or obnoxious.  In
       this case, when he was going to be staying with us, it was easy
       enough. We talked about the rules I'd expect him to obey (for a
       boy staying an indeterminate, but not terribly long, period of
       time - it was mostly don't leave the house without letting me
       know and mind), and what would happen if he didn't.  He
       mentioned that he hadn't been spanked much lately, since it was
       mostly his dad who was the spanker, and he told me his dad
       sometimes pulled his pants down, but he'd never had his
       underwear down.  I want to say he might have had warning from
       Jake about how I handle things, but I'm not positive about that.

       Yes, he's actually here now.  He went to see Avengers: Endgame
       with us, and slept over last night.

       Pretty well as far as I know, though I do know he was grounded
       one weekend, so not perfect.  He's not given me an excuse to
       spank him, but it sounds like he'll be spending a lot of time
       here over the summer.  He's 13, so spankings won't be too
       frequent with him, and he seems pretty well behaved, but the
       chance will probably be there.
