I Like It When They Come Nicely

He is hitting and kicking in line the teacher whispers. He glares at both of us, probably figuring she is snitching on him. I just finished with preschool where no one was hitting and kicking. I resist telling him this. Instead taking him to the office. He goes with me nicely, so I complement him on his choice. He seems surprised, which eggs me on further. I give him a wink. He stares at me, no doubt wondering what is going to happen next. I like to keep them on their toes.

I have all kinds of maniacal insane tricks to keep them wondering.

Another unruly kid placed in the right hands. Amazing what "a wink" can do. I'll bet he felt really grown-up.
