So, I'm at my son's school picking him up from his last day today and a friend asked me to watch her children for a few moments while she went into the school...
My son and her oldest son are best friends, he's 6 and apparently, a little asshole.
My son and him were playing in the schoolyard when Xavier (This kid) runs over to me, so I poke him in the stomach and he's laughing. He suddenly decides to fall down and start yelling and screaming that I'm beating him (The yard is full of parents and teachers). Great, so now everyone's looking at me like I'm beating him like a redheaded stepchild.
So, after some of these parents have come over to inquire how the boy is, he decides (SUDDENLY) to give up his act and jump up and start playing with my son again laughing and carrying on.
The last thing I need is children's services or the police coming into my life for beating on someone's child. (I've been friends with this kid's family for 10+ years, so I've known him forever). Man, I didn't figure a kid would be so malicious. It seems that he pulls this kind of crap on his mother all the time and as a result has Children's Services all over her ass at all times.
So, the innocence of childhood, sometimes isn't so innocent.
