Sweetest 5th Grade Boy

Sweetest child in the school 5th grade Giant puppy If you said the sweetest kid ever I could name him And I would Cry Cry Cry I feel horrible. Bring him to my office Who hurt him? What did they say? What did they do? In Mama Bear mode I am going to take no prisoners They can lie in cages eating wallpaper And will want to after I get finished with them Many tears later I discover The trickster told him that he said that they said that he said that she said. I am horrified. I have taught six million lessons on Not being stirred up by he-said-she-said nonsense We discuss my lessons Which he forgot in the heat of the moment I know the instigator. He is a piece of work. Can stir faster than me even, and I am pretty good at it. Finally change subject What will he do tonight for fun? He finally says play ball. A bit of a smile Tears start Then tears up again. His bat is lost. Wait a second, I say. In the house? Head nod. It has to be under something long, a bed or a couch right? He is stymied Not sure now what emotion to feel “Do you mean I am going to have to come to your house tonight and find our bat?” He gives me directions and his address. I smile. “And what would your mother say if an old woman Came to your house to help you find our bat?” He stares at me a long time. “Thank you?” he whispers. I love sweet supersensitive Innocent 5th grade boys Before they fall into the clutches of the 21-year-old 6th grade girls.
