More suffering for Shelby

Shelby has had a heck of a last two days, injury-wise. She had her giant splinter incident yesterday, and then today when I picked her up she was doing this very-strange-to-see-much-less-describe double-limp thing as she walked. She showed me that both of her shins were bruised and swollen. I then learned from a teacher that she had a serious fall on the playground, and that the school nurse had checked her and kept her under observation. Poor girl.


I had difficulty maintaining sympathy for her, though, because I learned she had lied to me about how much homework she had the last couple days. Her teacher left me a note about work not turned-in and I noticed in her assignment book that she had forged my initials by her Monday homework assignment (yesterday she said she "forgot" her assignment book, so I was not able to see the assignment much less sign it). For her deception, she has lost all snacking priveleges for the week (for starters). She was also sent to bed early since she couldn't even do today's homework (she "forgot" some key materials necessary to complete the work).
