Even the best peas with the most honorable of intentions get into more than they can handle sometimes. Abby Pea just finished her first nine week period and the grades weren't pretty. Just to clarify, she is taking all GT classes and 13 dance classes per week after school. Yes, that's a 13 with a 1 and a 3. And, yes, we're mad! I actually think today is the first time we counted them up and we all thought no wonder she's having trouble keeping her grades up!
Well, no more! We're down to a much more manageable six classes per week. It broke her heart, but King Pea and I decided it was best for the whole family.
It's so hard to deny peas what they want, especially when they're the most beautiful dancer you've ever seen. Or best artist, or greatest texter. We have a couple of pretty awesome television watchers, too. Peas can't have everything they want. If they did, they'd be too exhausted for the responsible stuff. And, we of all pea-ple know how hard it is to say, "no" and take away privileges.
We also had to point out that this was not so much punishment, as doing what's best for our pea. You think she bought that load? Yeah, neither did we.
