My Encounter With Little Man

Little Man is barely ten. His birthday was last month. He has already chased a veteran teacher away. She retired in the middle of the school year Which rarely ever happens. Today I saw Little Man in the hallway. He was wearing a deep dark angry scowl. I caught his eye and he put his arm straight out. I got closer and he gave me a tight hug and quick smile. Seconds later the deep scowl was firmly in place. No one saw but we both knew the scowl was an act. I asked his teacher if I could come in to teach a lesson. While I was in there we both complimented him in low voices.
