       I should have known, you would have had all angles figured out
       and dealt with before inviting Craig for the visit.

       I've always considered Ryan and Daniel were my first two 'real'
       foster boys, since they are the ones that came to me through
       CPS, rather than knowing me ahead of time.  That's been 12 or 13
       years, and a lot of conversations with Maggie and the Judge
       before setting on something all of us (and Maggie's boss) were
       comfortable with.  I'll admit, with Ryan and Daniel and even
       Noah, I did things the way I wanted, not how I legally should
       have.  Since then, especially with the Colter and Marsh boys,
       I've been much more careful to follow the letter, if not the
       spirit, of the rules.  On the other hand, we really are one big
       (really big), happy family, and shouldn't that be the most
       important thing?

       There is always a bit of question of hierarchy around here -
       there are too many people for there not to be.  Generally
       speaking, I try to make it clear that I am in charge, and Jeremy
       operates directly under me.  Jeremy and Liam help a bit with
       supervision of the youngest boys, especially when the grands are
       around, but I usually handle things myself, and I expect each
       boy to be responsible for himself.
       Of course, when I'm not home, things are slightly different.
       This isn't like the old days, when the forum started, and I had
       six pre-teens (Van, Bryce, Johnny, Josh, Barry, and Noah).
       Kenny is about to go into high school, Jake is a year younger,
       and the only pre-teens I have (living here) are Connor and
       Curtis.  Of course, right now the college kids are home, so I
       have plenty of responsible young adults to help out.
       When I 'leave someone in charge', it's not like I expect that
       person to suddenly run the family and make all the decisions.
       His real duty is to be a communications clearing house for me,
       and a partial rubber stamp.  When I leave a person in charge, if
       you want to do something you would normally ask me about, you
       ask that person instead, and that person either okays it or
       decides I need to be consulted.  A lot of times, it's simply a
       question of someone knowing where people are.
       Yesterday, that person was Mike Guice.
       Outside of relatives, Kenny has three people who are clearly his
       best friends - Ian Reasoner and Sam and Owen Loomis.  All four
       boys are going to be starting high school this fall.  All four
       boys are between 5'5" and 5'7" or 8" (Ian is tallest by an inch
       or two, and Kenny is just a bit taller than the twins - and yes,
       Sam and Owen are identical, though not hard to tell apart, since
       Owen tends to wear his hair a bit longer and loves green, while
       Sam prefers blue).  All three of the boys are active and lean,
       though the twins are just a bit stockier than Ian and Kenny.
       Yes, there is a point to all this, and you can probably guess
       what it is, considering where I'm reporting it.
       When I arrived home last night, Mike claimed things had gone
       well, but he didn't seem enthusiastic about that claim.  I
       pushed a bit, and he admitted that Kenny and his friends had
       been pushing things a bit, had gone behind his back, and had
       been less than completely respectful while doing it.  I
       separated the four of them and asked them what happened.  I
       think they knew they'd screwed up a bit, based as much on the
       way the four of them were trying to explain themselves, more
       than what they were actually saying (tripping over each other in
       their haste to make explanations).  There was nothing horrible
       in what they'd done, but besides arguing with Mike to the point
       where I would have considered it backtalk, they had been told
       'no' about getting stuff from the store, then had just gone and
       asked someone else to take them.
       I sat down and talked with them, clarifying what I felt they'd
       done wrong, and pointing out that I trust them to be on better
       behavior when I'm not around, and that when they do things like
       this, it makes me not trust them so much.
       All four of them were pretty upset at this point, I think mostly
       because I was clearly upset with them, and they were starting to
       understand that it was justified.
       "All four of you know that I believe in the cathartic and
       correcting power of a sore bottom for boys who need to be
       reminded to behave.  While you boys nearly being in high school
       doesn't change that, in this case, I think it's probably better
       if I just send you on home for tonight."
       Kenny knew that sending his friends home probably wouldn't be
       all that happened to him, but I felt like it was going to be at
       least close to enough to make my point, and I hadn't considered
       more.  Since this was summer, there was little question that all
       three of them would be back in a day or two.  Yet, being sent
       away was still very symbolic, and I suddenly had four, 14-year
       old boys begging me to whup them.
       Of course, the fact that three of them would have to be picked
       up, then explain to their parents why, might have had some
       influence on that.
       We went to my bedroom.  All four of them were wearing shorts -
       basketball for Ian and Kenny and walking for the twins - with
       shirts.  All four of them also wear shirts - just a tee for Ian,
       Sam had a checked camp shirt and Owen and Kenny were wearing
       polos.  All four of them were barefoot and all four of them wear
       boxer briefs.   I had all four strip down to just shirts, then
       we went into my closet (reminder: a huge walk-in).  One at a
       time, I put them over the side of the massage table.  They were
       using one hand to hold on to the handles on the other side, and
       their other arms around each other.  I got the bath brush, which
       made all of them flinch when I came back with it, then I knelt
       down in front of them and we had a quick talk about why they
       were in trouble.
       I had started out planning to give each boy 14 smacks with it,
       and they were good, solid smacks with a pop of the wrist to make
       sure it really stung.  I ended up keeping the 14 on the legs and
       sit spots, and all four of them were getting vocal by that
       point, then I finished with a couple on the upper legs to make
       sure I'd made my point.  All of them but Ian had damp eyes, and
       all of them were breathing heavy, though none of them were
       actually crying. Since what they'd done was disrespectful, but
       not immoral or dangerous, I thought I'd made a good, balanced
       job of making my point, though the worst part was yet to come.
       After hugging them all, and letting them dress and wash up, I
       marched all four of them out to apologize to Mike.

       I totally understand them begging for the whupping instead of
       being sent home.  Kenny probably figured he was going to get a
       whupping once they left anyway, so him begging along with them,
       just added to him wanting them to stay.  I do see how the boys
       are conditioned though.  14 year old boys begging to be whupped,
       isn't usual.  Some times you will read in a story or write a
       story with a boy begging for a whupping, instead of restriction
       and the comments you receive is that isn't realistic,  A
       teenager wouldn't do that.  Under the right condition, yes they
       would.
       I was a little confused with you saying, "I put them one at a
       time"  And then "They had one arm around the other."  At first I
       thought you were saying you whupped each boy individually but
       after reading it over a couple times, I understand they were
       side by side, along the massage table holding on to the boy
       beside them, so all four got it at the same time.  I actually
       like that for a couple reasons.  Well they acted out together as
       a group, so it is only fitting to be whupped for it as a group.
       But I also like it, because it actually increases their bond for
       each other.  Being punished together will do that.  You are
       going through something as a group, not alone.  The only time
       that wouldn't make the bond closer is if it was only one of the
       boys who actually did something wrong, and all of them was being
       punished for it.  The it could cause resentment and fracture the
       bond.
       Lastly, just a comment on the apology.  I imagine that apology
       was the worst for the boys.  Taking the whupping was bad, but
       they had asked for it and they knew they deserved it.  But there
       is just something difficult about having to apologize to anyone.
       I know it is the most difficult thing for me to do, both back
       when I was a boy and even still as a man.  I believe it is
       essential to do it, when you have wronged someone, but that
       doesn't make it any easier.  Admitting to being wrong is also
       difficult, which has something to do with apologizing being even
       more difficult.  You didn't say what Mike's reaction was to them
       apologizing.  I am hoping he hugged each one, to show he fully
       accepted their apology and still loved them.  That there wasn't
       any hard feelings left between them.  There is something about a
       hug that reaffirms friendship.  One would think boys into their
       teens would hate to be hugged but in certain situations, they
       crave it.  I know my nephews love to be hugged and if I don't
       hug them first, they hug me.  When they were teens I would hold
       off hugging when they first came over, especially if they hade
       friends with them, but they would come and hug me right off,
       even in front of their friends.  It got to where some of their
       friends got hugs also.  Any way.  I hope Mike showed them there
       are no hard feelings.

       I worried about the way I had phrased that, but I hoped it was
       clear.  The thing is, the massage table is just over waist
       height on me, so it's hard for boys who are several inches
       shorter than six feet to get themselves into position over it,
       especially when someone else is already there.  What we actually
       did was for me to take their hips in my hands and give them a
       slight boost as they pushed themselves up, which allowed them to
       get a hold on the handles on the far slide without slipping
       around.
       Mike tends to be a bit standoffish, and he doesn't much do
       casual hugging.  He did do that half handshake, half sidearm hug
       that some guys seem to do with people with whom they're more
       casual.  I had already made sure the boys had had plenty of
       hugs, and Mike was very gracious about accepting the apologies
       and making sure he understood, just as he hoped they understood
       why he couldn't tolerate the way they'd acted, but didn't feel
       like it was his place to apply consequences.  They agreed they
       did.

       Curtis got his little rear end worn out Tuesday night.
       Remember that this has been a pretty busy week.  Saturday, we
       went down to pick the younger boys up from camp.  The only good
       thing about it was, I was able to drive down separately, which
       means one stop and it took a lot less time.
       We picked them up and had them back late evening, but definitely
       too late to start unpacking, even if they hadn't been pretty
       exhausted.
       For those of you who've not heard, Wil was stuck in DFW this
       weekend.  I had a text awaiting me when I woke Sunday morning.
       On our way back into town, we'd had some brief showers, but the
       lightning (and apparently the really bad weather) was north of
       us.  It shut down landings for a while.  I'll skip all the
       details, but her connecting flight was cancelled and she
       couldn't reschule until Monday night!  I went to hang out with
       her.
       Before I left, I told Connor and Curtis that they could do what
       they wanted with the day (except go visit their cousins/nephews
       who'd been at camp with them, since I knew they'd be busy).
       However, I also made sure to stress that they were going to have
       to unpack, and if they didn't get it done Sunday, they'd have to
       do it Monday, when their friends were here.
       I went to work Monday, but finished up faster than I'd expected,
       so I went and picked up Wil, and we spent the afternoon
       together, until I dropped her off to catch her flight.  I think
       it was a nice visit.
       That timing made me fight rush hour traffic, so I was pretty
       beat by the time I arrived home.  I'll admit that I only gave
       chores a cursory inspection.  Neither Connor nor Curtis were
       finished, but I felt it was a bit my fault.  While Connor is 10,
       that's an unusual job they'd never done before, and it was
       pretty big, so I let it go.  I should have at least gotten one
       of the older, experienced boys to help, but I hadn't planned on
       being gone all afternoon.  Because of that, I gave them an
       extension.
       Monday night, we did break things down into smaller groups, and
       I made an exact list of steps.  I made it very clear that they
       needed to finish before they would be allowed to play - they
       weren't exactly in trouble, but they hadn't done what they'd
       been told to do, so they weren't exactly not in trouble.  I felt
       this was a good compromise.
       Because it's a holiday this week, and not only would I not be at
       work, but we'd be closed, I didn't have the option of staying
       home Tuesday.  Instead, I got them both started, told them to
       let someone knwo when they were ready to do laundry (Curtis
       especially is too short to reach where we store the cleaning
       material, even with a step ladder).
       When I got home, everyone was playing.  When I asked, everyone
       was through.  When I checked, Curtis had just stuffed a lot of
       stuff - mainly dirty clothes - into his closet, beneath some
       toys and shoes (not even especially well hidden).
       The worst part is, everyone was here.  While not all Curtis'
       closest friends are relatives (there are tribe members like Bo
       and Royce Tidwell, Ed Simpson, and a couple of kids from
       school), his best friends and almost constant companions are his
       nephews and cousins - Ollie, Paden, and Ryder.  All three of
       them were here that night.
       We did go to my room to have the discussion, but everyone here
       has been in that position, so I doubt there was much doubt as to
       what the issue was.
       To make a long story short, while I may be easy on Connor and
       Curtis, Curtis had disobeyed me and lied about it, so he got a
       double 2-down pattern with extra on the legs.  It was with the
       smallest Tailblazer, but he was bawling long before we finished.
       
       I had intended to stand him in the corner to think about how
       fraud and lying are the worst way to handle things, but he was
       so miserable, we ended up cuddling and talking.
       I think the worst thing for him was that he not only had to deal
       with all that, but then he wasn't allowed to play until all his
       chores - including the unpacking - were done the next morning.
       Well, that's not quite true, since he did get to go play while
       the washing machine ran, but Mike was in charge, and Mike used
       the timer on his phone to make sure it was all done on a timely
       basis.

       I kept waiting for someone to get in trouble as we were getting
       ready for vacation. A few people tested the limits, but everyone
       seemed to have a good idea what a bad idea pushing too far would
       be.
       Someone was finally considerate enough to give me a butt to bust
       Tuesday night.
       I had reminded everyone that we'd be in a hotel and how they
       needed to behave before we ever left on the trip, and again when
       we were checking into our rooms. Despite that, Monday night, a
       few people got called down and had to do a bit of corner time.
       On Tuesday morning, I made things very clear about expected
       behavior.
       So, I'd been in Chris and Terry's suite, tucking in Connor and
       Curtis (and Rhett and Ryder), and was headed back to my own,
       when I heard a ruckus.  A quick check revealed Kaden, Leif, and
       Aidan Cavanaugh, and Logan (my cousin Ryan's 16 year old kid)
       were in the hallway wrestling.  There was a quick realization
       that they'd screwed up before I marched them to the room they
       shared.  The discussion wasn't long, since they'd all been
       warned numerous times.  It was really just one of those
       impulsive things that got out of hand.  They were all about to
       get cleaned up and go to sleep, so I had them all strip down.  I
       didn't have a good paddle with me for this age, so I took off my
       belt.  I started with Logan, then Aidan, with Leif last.  This
       was hardly the crime of the century, so I only gave five stripes
       to each boy.  I was holding their left arm, and this wasn't
       serious enough for a real strap dance, but it was still kind of
       fun.  They all watched each other get it before any of them
       started showering.  The were all trying to take it well and be
       nonchalant, but there was still a certain amount of jumping and
       ouching, and the other boys - especially the ones who'd already
       had their turn - were having a bit of trouble being serious, but
       we got through it.

       Probably just an oversight, because you are wore out with your
       fun packed vacation, but what about Kaden?  He is listed with
       the wrestlers, but not listed with the spankee's?

       On several occasions I remember shrieking children repeatedly
       running the length of the hotel hall until well past what should
       have been their bedtimes.  Amazing how so few children can ruin
       an entire floor of a hotel.  Good job taking advantage of the
       opportunity, Jack.  I feel sure there were other hotel guests
       (invisible in their rooms) who appreciated your intervention.
