Creative (or not so much creative) parenting

Today was another day where I look forward to picking the boys up at school and Griffin has a note taped to him. Not in his hand or backpack, but TAPED to him. This is what it said, "Griffin brought a pen to school for Show and Tell. He drew on Dunning's shoe so he did not get to participate in Show and Tell. Griffin threw away this note so I threw away the pen. It was a Dyco Insurance pen". I don't know why I thought this was so funny. Maybe one because I didn't even know he had Show and Tell today (normally it is on Friday and today is Thursday) much less that he had a pen in his backpack. Second that he threw the note away, got busted, and had it taped to the front of his shirt. I didn't really know how to punish him. So I ended up making him copy the sentence, "I will not draw on shoes", a few times. It took him FOREVER since he hates writing, but I figure it also reinforces his letter identification and reading skills. He must have liked it. Every time he has gotten in trouble this evening, he asks when he can write more sentences about it.
