Don’t Take It Inside …..


This afternoon I picked Coop up from play school and his teacher informed me that he had been in a scuffle this afternoon on the playground. There is zero tolerance on getting in trouble at school in our house and Coop knows it. So he was made to go and tell his teacher he was sorry. When we got into the car, I began questioning him as to what took place on the playground at school. He told me that he had the Frisbee and that his friends came and took it away from him and they would not share. With every breath he was asking if he was going to get a spanking and highly concerned about it. As I advised him as to what to do next time, he was on top of his manners. Rounding the corner in our neighborhood and pulling up to the mailbox, Cooper tells me, “Mommy, let’s not talk about this any more when we go into the house. I love you, Mommy!” I gasped to keep from laughing.
