Tyler wasn't actually involved in the fight, but last night he asked if he could talk to me.
"Mom, Lucas got beat up at recess."
"What do you mean?", I ask.
"A blonde boy from Mrs. Thompson's class punched him and stuff" Tyler says.
"Did a teacher see this? Did you tell anyone? Is Lucas okay?" So many questions come pouring out of my mouth.
"Lucas just ran away, he didn't even cry. He said to the kid "I'm going to get you", Tyler says as he raises a clenched fist over his head to imitate Lucas.
So what's a mom to do? They're in kindergarten for crying out loud! I did what any good mom should do; I tattled to the teacher via email. Is this the start of something that I should prepare myself to see/hear more of as my son advances through school? I don't remember this happening when I was little, but my memories are sugar-coated happy ones of puppies and flowers. Why can't my little ones just have puppies and flowers?
