Bev went to pick the Grandkids up from school, Joe’s teacher came over to speak to Bev, the conversation went like this,
“I’ve had to have words with Joe today”
“Why”
“Because another boy dragged him round by the hood of his coat so Joe did the same to him but as his coat was zipped up he cut his chin”
“That will be our fault, we have told our Grandkids the same as we told our kids, if someone hits you then hit them back harder, by the way did you have words with the other boy?”
“Er, no, he was too upset, maybe we should put this down as six of one & half a dozen of the other”
“No, we’ll put it down as 100% the other kid & hope he’s learned his lesson, we do not have victims in our family, nor do we have bullies”
The teacher didn’t look impressed.
