Mom, HELP!!!

Mom, I am pretty sure dad is reading this to you, but I need your help. When I was 5 years old and joined a gang, what did you do to turn me back to the right path? Let me explain. I suspect that Keira has joined a gang and I don't know what to do to get her out of the gang. Lasterday (that is Keira talk for "yesterday"), Keira punched a 7-year-old boy in the stomach and made him cry, and I am not talking quiet little whimpering tears. He was in real pain. After I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat to investigate, I asked some of the other frightened kids what the boy was doing to taunt Keira into punching him. They told me that she punched him because he was going to go tell her parents (us) that she was spray painting a wall. Not the answer you were expecting? Me neither. This brought up many more questions, the first one was "What did you say?" After verifying that is what they said, my next questions were "what wall did she paint?", "where did she get the paint?", and the question that should have been obvious because of the reason I was out there in the first place, "Why didn't you stop her?" Well, they showed me the wall and of course the answer to the last question was "because she punched that guy when he tried to stop her." Well because I like to keep and collect all of Keira's artwork, below are some pictures of her tags.

Judging by the color she may be a member of the bloods. If you see this tag in your neighbor hood beware, because Krazy Keira is nearby.

My question again mom, is what did you do to correct me in times like this? We made Keira buy some white spray paint with her own money, we took some rocks away from her (thanks Jamie), and we put her in time out along with a grounding. Then today she did some other things that got her in trouble so we went to capital punishment and gave her 3 spankings. Knowing that she was in pain from the spankings, we were surprised when she sarcastically said, "Ouch" and then started laughing hysterically. In all honesty, it really isn't as bad as it sounds and I wrote this because I do see the humor in the story. I would hate for anyone to really believe that she is such a naughty girl. 99% of the time Keira is a little angel, it is just much easier to write about the humorous naughty stuff she does rather than the, "Keira was a good girl today. She did everything we asked her too, she ate all of her vegetables, and she went to bed without a fight" type stories that she does everyday. I am just glad this all happened before Christmas because coal is much cheaper than all the presents she would have gotten. Oh, and sorry it has taken me so long to post something on my blog, so hopefully the 2 readers I did have still have some faith in me and will read this. If not, this at least was a good journal entry. Merry Christmas everybody!
