Last week Hunter came home from school and proudly pulled a sea shell from her pocket. After a little light questioning it was revealed that she took the shell from school without permission.
Discussions were had, Barbies (and their house) were taken away, and the shell was returned to her teacher complete with uncomfortable, embarrassed, and nearly inaudible apology.
Lesson learned?
Only time will tell.
Later that evening, Michael revealed to me that when he was five-years-old, he too, took a shell from daycare without permission. He doesn’t remember the details, or the punishment, but he remembers taking the shell.
Interesting, no?
