Dinner Table Conversation

Me: "What happened at school today, G?"

G (full of drama): "I was da line leader an this boy he said to go there but I said I's the line leader so then he bash me in da nose!"

Me: "He bashed you in the nose?  So what did you do then?"

G (complete self righteous confidence): "Wewl, I turned like dis, and I carefully bash him."

Me: "G, when there is trouble, I want you to remember that you can tell your teacher.  It's not a good choice to bash people."

G (patiently trying to help the slow-minded mama to understand): "Mama.  I CAREFULLY bash him."

What do I know?  He came home with all of his stars (kindergarten motivation system).  Maybe the modern education includes careful bashing.  Maybe?
