It's like a heat wave...burnin' in my heart....

Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart....

Oh Owen - the Oven - the man...

So the update is this...
Owen goes to school and finds out that Roger called him to tell him his girlfriend was breaking up with him because another boy told him to. WHAT? Why is Roger listening to anyone? Who knows. But this girl didn't want to break up with Owen, and asked him if he would 'go back out with her.' He told her that he can't...

So then all the kids at school were talking about how long Owen would be grounded...he said he had no idea. They went on a bowling field trip yesterday for Accelerated Reading...the ex-girlfriend was there and as Owen put it "was flirting with him the whole time." Huh. So was another girl, who learned that Owen was a free man, so SHE asked him to be her boyfriend. His response? "Heck no." Which ex-girlfriend heard and smiled really big at Owen. Then says to girl #2 "He told you HECK no!" and girl #2 scowls and responds "I heard him." Then they proceeded to argue over who was going to get to sit with Owen on the bus on the way back to school, and Owen told them neither! Luckily he was saved because they had to sit in the same seats they did on the way to the bowling alley, and he sat with a boy on the way down. Phew! Crisis averted.

We told Owen we're not punishing him for having a girlfriend, we're punishing him for sneakiness and breaking a house rule of no girlfriends. His punishment? No video games for a week, and NO wrestling...no Friday night smackdown...and he can't even record it to watch later. Oooooooh. He deflated instantly.

The funny part is, we only said "no video games for a week and no Friday night smackdown." As we were sitting there eating, he said...so the week starts when? Today? Yesterday? "Tomorrow," Kev-head said. "Oh, so that means all the way until next Thursday...so no Monday night RAW, either." Alex just shakes his head. "You idiot...they didn't say ANYTHING about RAW!" Well, we added that to the mix because of the suggestion. HA! Oh, Owie...you have to learn when to keep your trap shut. So now it's no video game, no Smackdown, no RAW.

I think he'll make it through. Wrestling is more important than girls, after all...he won't risk it again.
