I got an email today from Middle Boy's JROTC teacher asking about a permission slip for a MANDATORY outing.

I have not seen this permission slip so I had no idea what he was talking about.

I was in a meeting so I texted Middle Boy and asked him about it.  He said "the one for CAD"?

What there are two?

No, the one for JROTC.  Please bring them both home tonight.

His response, "nah".

MANDATORY Middle Boy...no choice.  You go.

This deceitfulness drives me crazy.  Completely crazy!
