Teaching Lessons

Mike was a really good dad and didn't "provoke his children to wrath". He was much more inventive. One day, when Ryan was in middle school, he noticed Ryan hiding on the side of the road as he left for the church. He immediately realized that his son was cutting school. Mike was much more diabolical. He gave Ryan time to settle and then he returned home. Ryan heard him and jumped in his closet (a very messy closet for this age). Mike proceeded to Ryan's room where he sat down at his Nintendo and played all day. He took a break for lunch and he took a few bathroom breaks. This gave Ryan a little time to adjust his posture during the day. Mike left just as it was time for Ryan to get home from school. Ryan never knew that his dad was teaching him a lesson until he was an adult and Mike shared this with him. Ryan just knew it wasn't always fun to skip school.
