Younger Boy still has a number of missing assignments.  I listed them to him when he called today after school.

I told him if he had them done when it was time to leave for youth group then he could go.  If they were not he couldn't. 

There was about 30 minutes of work for him to do.  We aren't talking about DAYS worth of assignments here. 

He had THREE HOURS to finish them up.

Instead he decided to write me a letter of apology for lying about the homework.  That's nice, but not what I asked him to do.  It was a decision he made.

He did not start any of the homework.  As a result he was not ready when it was time to leave for youth group.  So...I loaded him in the car to take Middle Boy.

He didn't say a single word all of the way to the church.
