45 percent drop in revenues. Is that good?
From Bored Teachers...feels a bit real...

It's starting already- student in Indiana is postive for covid on first day of school. Looks like they're protocol is to alert anyone who was within 6 ft of him that day to quarantine for 14 days! How many students/teachers will that be? https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2020/07/31/greenfield-student-tests-positive-covid-19-first-day-class/5552735002/
How embarrassing must it be to be a Republican?

Outdoor stuff in the snow is still going to be fun for a 14 year old. Maybe cook dinner together, if you have a Nintendo switch there are super fun games to play, or have a contest to find the best bad movie on Netflix and crack up commenting on it.
With teenagers, shoulder to shoulder is usually better than face to face…
That's a good way to think about it! Thank you!
Sky High. Take a day off work and school and go when no one is around at like 10am (if you are covid concerned). Jumping on trampolines for 2 hours is amazing. Great workout and sure shot way to #1 in the kid's heart. Make a day of it and get food and ice cream after, then nap and movie night. Best Funcle of the year award! (Assuming you are a guy).
I'm in my 30s and still do this occasionally for my bday.
pull him in a sled from your car
Update: I asked him what he thought about this and he BEAMED and said I have the perfect kind of sled for that!!!
Might actually have to find an unplowed parking lot and give this one a go 😅

No suggestions but this is cute af
Playing fun, lighthearted video games together is always great. Thinking like Mario Kart or Mario party
Probably the only games I could even pretend to keep up with 😆
let him give you a haircut

Make tiktoks
Oh God. That is way out of my comfort zone but the result may just be funny enough for me to give it a shot 😄
Video games
Oh good call! Thank goodness hubby has games to choose from!
Bowling, arcade, Sky Zone (indoor trampolines), go kart racing, bake something, movies (rent or theater)
Love the sky zone idea! Thank you!!
ask him what or where he wants to eat all the time. young people love getting to exercise some agency (as small as choosing dinner option seems). If you’re on a budget, you can give him a list of options and ask him to choose
Family fondue night
Take him to Vegas!

Aww bless you OP, thats sweet that you want to make sure he has fun☺️
My aunt would just roll her eyes and sigh whenever she got asked to watch me as a kid. She would just put some old vhs movies on and mostly ignore me.
That makes me so sad! My nieces and nephew are honestly such a blessing I've always wanted to get more time with them!
fireworks are always a good crowd pleaser
Indoor paintball. Shooting range(if you’re into that stuff). Sneak him a beer and don’t tell the parents.
Board games or card games. My nieces this age love to play games with me and stay up late and eat junk food.

When my nieces and nephews come over for a couple of days, I tell them to think of something they’ve always wanted to do, and we do it. I give them ideas that I can manage, of course. Bowling, arcade room, try a new restaurant/food.
