Caren Krutsinger Poet Narrative

Telling On Each Other In Third Grade

They were telling on each other.
He is annoying; always talking.
I just want peace and quiet!
He keeps tapping my desk.

She is irritating. I cannot stand her.
We do not get along. Why do we have to sit together?
She pinched me, so I smacked her hard.
My folks say to hit them twice as hard back even at school.

It was a silly argument. They both ended up in tears.
Drama in the third grade. The principal separated them.
We took down their stories. Totally similar; both honest.
This will eventually become true love I believe.

Valsa George March 3, 2022 at 6:52 PM You have made a probable prediction, Caren ! Beginning in quarrel and ending up in love . This often happens. Your association with schools give you so many such interesting anecdotes ! Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2022 at 8:34 PM I have all kinds of stories to tell yet.

M. L. Kiser March 3, 2022 at 4:17 PM Haha, yeah, that's the way; a fun read. Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2022 at 8:34 PM Thank you very much.

Andrea Dietrich March 3, 2022 at 12:40 PM haha. so funny how you ended it. Yes, they say the guys who treat girls this way are just trying to get her attention, but I had a few guys do really mean things to me, and it never went into anything good at all Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2022 at 8:35 PM I think there are several boys who want a girl's attention but have no idea how to go about it, thus, they do it negatively. You know what they say - any attention is good attention for some of them.
