All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten, Redux

Remember Tuesday and the Red-Yellow-Green behavior system in Mack’s kindergarten? And remember Mack being told by his dad that if he got through the whole year without any yellows, he’d get a car? Well, Mack’s mom reported today, the second day the system was in effect.

“Mack’s not getting a car.”

Update: He was talking when he should have been listening. Jill reports:

I spoke to Mack about it and told him that it wasn’t fair to be loud in class. I said that all the other students were being quiet and trying to learn, and if he was loud that was disturbing to them.

His reply was, “No. The other kids see that I am talking and then they all do it, too.”

Natural born leader.

  1. More like a natural-born pain in the ass.

    I told him that, like Spider-Man, he needs to remember that “with great power comes great responsibility.” But I don’t think that’s going to work unless he suddenly starts shooting webs out of his wrists.
