Let me tell you about drop off today. 5 minutes after Rocco told me he doesn't want to go to school because Dee is mean to him and spit on him I am dropping him off in the classroom. Dee pops up from the dramatic play area
Dee: you can't play over here Rocco. There are already three friends in dramatic play (apparently three friends per area is the rule to avoid chaos) rocco: me: ^o) Rocco, do you want to go to the block area? Dee: there are already three friends here so he can't play here. me: we'll, lets see. How many friends in block area? dee:two Me: so if we add Rocco, how many would that be? dee: three me: that's right! So don't worry about it! in my head, I kind of wanted to tell her to STFU, PUNK and maybe give her a little cuff. Just a little one, though...
Wanting to pull a child by the hair and tell him he should have been held back for being ugly isn't OTT? A CHILD.
I *GET* being annoyed and this is the perfect time for a "that isn't very nice, you're hurting peoples feelings".
I'm not saying this to be ugly or snarky, but when another child has hurt my child - or my child's feelings - I will fully own that I imagine doing unpleasant things to that child. Not physically harming them, mind you, but grabbing them by the hair and snarling, "if you EVER touch DD again, you will be sorry." Have I ever? No, because it's a child. But I would be lying through my teeth if I said that I haven't ever wanted to.
Well I frequently do. However, I never actually have. If you can't see the difference there and are going to continue to act all fucking pearl clutchy over what somebody fantasied about doing when they felt their child was being insulted or picked on then you just KOKO.
Oh FFS, I wasn't all pearl clutchy, so you just KOKO with blowing this out of proportion.
Help me out here. I didn't know what KOKO stood for so I googled it. I'm guessing it doesn't refer to the famous gorilla or the Urban Dictionary definition?:
koko - Nigerian slang. In a range of concurrent sexual partners, the Koko is the girl/boy who gives the best sexual experience.
