Such a “controlling” father

My son has been in California since Tuesday night. However, he cannot get away from the long arm of his father.

He is supposed to be on his Spring Break but I keep unexpectedly rearranging his plans.

One month ago, I informed him that I registered him to take the SAT test at Chatsworth High while he was out in California visiting his friends. He took that test this morning.

After he finished the test, I called him to inform him that I bought him a plane ticket to the High School Senior Nationals. He was excited! (To be candid, I was a little surprised by his reaction. He responded so peacefully when I told him just last week that we couldn’t make it happen financially that I really didn’t know that he wanted to go so strongly. He really trusts his parent’s judgment!)

I then told him that I was sending his wrestling gear via Fed Ex because I was trying to find places where he could train! He was excited.

When I told him that I was trying to see if I could schedule an early morning workout and an evening workout, he was a little less excited.

But, he knows that he has 2 1/2 weeks to get better. EVERYONE at this tournament is VERY good!
