Take a Shower!

Sooo... let's see.

David left for camp yesterday. No, I didn't cry. lol He got in the van with the other guys and I stood around talking to the moms. They described how their sons took ONE shower during camp week last year or how they put their wet towels in their suitcases instead of hanging them up. I marched over to the van and addressed all the boys. "You ALL will shower at least once every day. You'll keep your dirty clothes separate from your clean clothes! Have fun!" LOL

Oh wow, Maryann just called and told me Christian Bale (Batman!) was arrested in London for assault. Yikes, I hope that's just an exaggeration or a misunderstanding.

Bob is having a sleep clinic evaluation tomorrow night. I will be taking half the night off work, since David is not here to babysit.

We are going to the library after lunch for an animal program. Should be fun!

http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Verbal+assault
assault, in law, an attempt or threat, going beyond mere words, to use violence, with the intent and the apparent ability to do harm to another.

If violent contact actually occurs, the offense of battery ( in criminal and tort law, the unpermitted touching of any part of the person of another, or of anything worn, carried by, or intimately associated at that moment (as a chair being sat on) with another) has been committed; modern criminal statutes often combine assault and battery.

An assault may be both a crime and a tort (in law, the violation of some duty clearly set by law, not by a specific agreement between two parties, as in breach of contract . When such a duty is breached, the injured party has the right to institute suit for compensatory damages) for which the party assaulted may sue for damages; the victim's freedom, as to move or remain at peace, must have been impinged on.

Modern criminal statutes recognize certain degrees of assault (e.g., with intent to kill, to do great bodily harm, to rape) as aggravated assaults and felonies, though simple assault remains, as at common law (system of law that prevails in England and in countries colonized by England. The name is derived from the medieval theory that the law administered by the king's courts represented the common custom of the realm, as opposed to the custom of local jurisdiction that was applied in local or manorial courts) a misdemeanor.

Either malevolence or recklessness (as in driving a car in reckless disregard of human life) may constitute the intent necessary to assault in most jurisdictions.

Apparently his mom & sister were the ones he allegedly assaulted. Bummer, Batman. Glad those boys will be squeaky clean at camp!
