“You admitted to Ms. Lulu that you insulted someone first, didn’t you? If you insult someone, you should apologize to them. Can you go and apologize first, is that okay?”
Lucas didn’t just cry, he even struggled to leave.
Rhiannon couldn’t tolerate it anymore, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face. She didn’t want to reason with him anymore, she glared and angrily ordered, “Go apologize to Tobias Clark!”
She has never felt so aggrieved in her life!
Lucas was stunned by the slap; he covered his face, and even if Rhiannon didn’t slap him very hard, he felt like he had been bullied badly. His crying stopped for a moment, then immediately started wailing louder!
“I want to go home…l don’t want you anymore…you’re a bad person…bad mom…”
Rhiannon was even angrier, grabbing his collar and raising her hand as if to hit him again, yelling, “Hurry up and apologize to me, or I’ll give you another slap!”
She was actually hitting a child in the kindergarten teacher’s office, and Lulu Kennedy couldn’t stand it any longer, interrupting, “Lucas’ mom, don’t worry, I’ll talk to Lucas.”
All Rhiannon wanted now was for Lucas to quickly apologize so she could leave as soon as possible. Seeing Lulu Kennedy willing to intervene, she immediately let go of him.
Lulu Kennedy took Lucas out of the office.
Ten minutes later, a teary-eyed Lucas came back. Although he looked very embarrassed, at least he wasn’t crying anymore. He walked up to Tobias, awkwardly avoiding eye contact, and apologized softly, “Tobias Clark, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said you don’t have a dad, and I shouldn’t have called your mom a disgraceful woman. I heard my mom call someone a disgraceful woman when she was insulting them. I didn’t know that it meant…that no one wants their mom. If someone insults my dad and mom, I would definitely get mad too. I’m sorry.”
Children don’t really have any malice, and Lucas doesn’t have any either. He’s just a little tyrant. He’s spoiled by his family, and children grow up following their parents’ lead. So unconsciously, he learned some of Rhiannon’s ways. But in reality, he’s just a five-year-old child, and his thoughts are still very simple. Sometimes, he can’t even tell right from wrong, and he just does things without any deeper meaning.
Today, after getting scolded and then slapped by his own mom. When he was talked kindly to by Ms. Lulu, he realized he was wrong.
When children make mistakes, they don’t have as many twists and turns when apologizing as adults do. Their apologies are straightforward, admitting exactly what they did wrong.
Tobias is not a petty child, and Enna always educates him that one should be able to take losses, be generous, and have many friends, so that others will be happy to be friends with him. Although he doesn’t like Lucas or think highly of him, since Lucas has genuinely apologized, Tobias isn’t the type to hold a grudge. He immediately jumped off the sofa, raised his hand to pat Lucas’ head, and said, “Alright, I understand. Just don’t do this again.”
“Okay!” Lucas nodded heavily, sniffed, and muttered, “Tobias, I won’t go against you anymore. You’re nice, much better than my mom. From now on in kindergarten, I’ll have your back! Whoever you want me to hit, I’ll hit them!” Rhiannon was infuriated.
Tobias’ phoenix eyes squinted, and compared to Lucas, who was much more polite and sensible, he glanced at Lulu Kennedy and then solemnly said, “The teacher has said many times that we can’t fight in kindergarten. I won’t let you hit anybody, and you should also stop bullying girls in the future..”
