K went to pick up EB from her school last week and had the following exchange with EB’s teacher.
Teacher: “I had to put EB on timeout today.”
K (with concern): “What happened?”
Teacher: “When the kids were lining up to go outside, EB wanted to be the ‘line leader’, so she wrestled the boy standing in front.”
K: “Did she win?”
Teacher (stunned, speechless)
I thought K’s comment was pretty darned funny. And for the record, K was absolutely kidding; he knows that EB’s behavior was unacceptable, and he heavily reprimanded her. But heck, sometimes, people just have to lighten up.
Ha. Good for K. -- Mark would have wanted to know the same thing too.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is part of the reason why K and Mark get along so well!
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that a young age EB is already demonstrating that girls DO NOT have to take a back seat to boys and if you want something go for it.
ReplyDeleteKatie -- she definitely goes for what she wants! She's a strong-willed little girl (too strong, I fear sometimes).
