A Great Idea

The principal asked me if I would do counseling with a four-year-old. I am licensed K-12, but I told her I would. The issue was hitting. The child was big-eyed, handsome, and enormously charming. I told him that as the school counselor, it is my job to make sure everyone has friends. He told me he does not have any. I told him that he could get a lot if he made sure he did not hit anyone. I also congratulated him on not hitting anyone all day that day. (He was earning a sticker sheet). After our talk he said “I’ve got a GREAT idea.” “What is it?” “I will kiss everybody.” Uh-oh. New discussion. He told me that he has ten brothers and eleven sisters. so I said “If I say to your Mommy, ‘wow, you have twenty-two children! What will she say?” “She will say I lied,” he told me “because I am lying.” He is charming and truthful! A winning combination if you ask me.
