My friend Courtney sent me a conversation. She says:
I was on my way back to the apartment this morning after moving the car and saw a woman dropping her 6-ish-year-old girl off at the bus. I thought you would appreciate their exchange:
“Now, you behave today. You got a problem, you talk to the teacher. No gettin’ in any fights.”
“OK.”
“And no talkin’ back!”
“OK”
“And no hittin’ anybody…”
“OK”
“less they hit you first.”
