He Stuck His Tongue Out At Me

"He stuck his tongue out at me.
He made the symbol of a gun.
He pretended to shoot me.
This is NOT OKAY!”

This is being yelled to my back.
As I try to unhook this child from a fence,
So, I can lead seventeen children into the school.
I want to stick out my tongue at her, and she is a teacher.

Though most of these children have been subject to bad parenting, some just need to be left hooked to the fences Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/18/2022 10:28:00 PM I love thinking about hooking three of them to a fence.
