Oh and DD12 has just come home gloating about the fact that she got a boy in her class in trouble for kicking her in the hall today.
Now I know this boy. I know his parents. He isn't the kick you the hall type. I also know my daughter. So I asked her what she did to him first.
DD: "nothing"
Me: "Now tell me the truth or I will call his Mom and talk to him."
DD: "Well I might have called him carrothead a few times."
Me:
"When?"
DD: "Today.
But he isn't allowed to kick me! And it hurt!"
Me: "Sounds like you totally deserved to be kicked. I would have kicked you to! I don't want to hear about it. Exactly how much trouble did you get him in?"
DD: "He just got told not to kick me and had to apologize."
Me: "Well now it is your turn to apologize to him. You have a choice. You can either write him an apology note or call him on the phone. Which do you prefer?"
DD:
(do we have a tantrum smilie?) "That's not fair! I hate you!"
She choose to write the note which I have approved. She is making her snack now. Wait until she finds out she gets to spend the rest of the afternoon now cleaning her room to complete her punishment. If she had gotten him sent to the principal's office she would be in a world of doo-doo.
