I got a call from A's teacher the other day.  She told me that A grabbed one kid and hit another kid in the back at recess. "That's so unlike him" she said.  Later as I spoke to A about the situation (remember he's in kindergarten) I asked him what he could do to control himself/not do it again.   He said, sigh..."I guess I'm just gonna have to sit against the wall."
Me:  Well can you think of something else you might do to control yourself?
A:  No, I'm just gonna have to sit against the wall, that's it.
Me:  Maybe you could just not hit, or grab?
A: Sigh (eye roll)...Mom (slowly like duh Mom) that's the game, I'm just gonna have to sit against the wall.

A few minutes later.
A:  Mom, do you know the one thing I don't like about Ms.  Anderson?(his teacher)
Me:  What?
A:  She only lets us read little words, AND she always has to help us! (expels breath loudly)

What terrible faults for a teacher to have :),

I get a kick out of my sweet funny Boy.
