Confessions

Layla was caught using the art center scissors to cut her hair. There were blond curls all over the classroom floor. Meredith told her that because of what she did, the scissors would be put away for a week. She said, "Ok" and skipped away. No remorse. So then Meredith made everyone sit down and have a meeting. She told the children that one of their friends used the scissors to cut their hair. They all wanted to know who did it, of course. We didn't tell them. Meredith said that the scissors would be taken away. They were all a little upset. Sarah stands up, head down to the floor. She said, "Miss Meredith, I have an announcement." Meredith said ok sarah, go ahead. Sarah says, "One time, I cut my hair at school...a long, long time ago." Meredith was trying to hold back her laughter and reassured Sarah that it was o.k., she was not guilty this time, and everyone makes mistakes. I, however, had to walk out of the classroom so that I could laugh my ass off in the hallway. Oh, children.
