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.
