I got a little shouty but no smacky and very fucking punitive. We've pretty much reached the conclusion that, in general, punishments just don't work with him, but this was too big to be ignored. He has spent the whole day only being allowed to draw, write, do chores or hockey stick handling drills. No toys, no games, no computers and definitely no reading. It was Banana Lady's day to take them all to the toystore, though, and she would have been upset if we banned him from going. So we let him go, but he wasn't allowed to touch/play in the store. he got to choose and he can't play with it until tomorrow and then only IF he's an angel at school. yes, he was that bad.
