did your parents back you up?

jw bc my mom gave me good lessons on authority and who should get respect and how. I had a couple "suspensions" that were really just a day off, once or twice she even took it off work to do something with me. I don't remember the exact scenarios now because they were pretty minor things, but I appreciate the way she handled it.

except that time I brought a knife to school to have a friend sharpen it at home. I understand why they wouldn't want knives there, and I broke that rule knowingly and after consideration.

also, lol @ suspensions in the first place. like what does that even accomplish? Oh no what am I going to do with the rest of the day and up to the next two days completely off, what a terrible time I'll have biking around town and playing video games. It's not like getting behind on classwork is an issue for that period of time when you're an easy A student who's never had the study and is going to have a hell of a time adjusting to post secondary.
