Empathy

I volunteered in Big Kid's classroom for an hour the other day, because I'm awesome like that, and his teacher passed on the following anecdote:

Miss E: Yes, Kelly?

Kelly: So and so is touching me and I used my words and asked them to stop and they didn't.

Miss E: Okay, well stop it so and so. Yes, Big Kid?

Big Kid: Um, dere was someone touchin' me earlier and I assed dem to stop and dey dest kept ticklin' my shoulder. So I dest wanted to tell Kelly dat I know how she feels and I'm finking me and her are feelin' da same way right now.

In other news, I'm going to be a soccer mom. Yep. We'll see how that goes, remind me to tell you about the time we tried t-ball.
