âYou admitted to Ms. Lulu that you insulted someone first, didnât you? If you insult someone, you should apologize to them. Can you go and apologize first, is that okay?â
âI want my dadâ¦wahâ¦â
Lucas didnât just cry, he even struggled to leave.
Rhiannon couldnât tolerate it anymore, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face. She didnât want to reason with him anymore, she glared and angrily ordered, âGo apologize to Tobias Clark!â
She has never felt so aggrieved in her life!
Lucas was stunned by the slap; he covered his face, and even if Rhiannon didnât slap him very hard, he felt like he had been bullied badly. His crying stopped for a moment, then immediately started wailing louder!
âI want to go homeâ¦l donât want you anymoreâ¦youâre a bad personâ¦bad momâ¦â
Rhiannon was even angrier, grabbing his collar and raising her hand as if to hit him again, yelling, âHurry up and apologize to me, or Iâll give you another slap!â
She was actually hitting a child in the kindergarten teacherâs office, and Lulu Kennedy couldnât stand it any longer, interrupting, âLucasâ mom, donât worry, Iâll talk to Lucas.â
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 wasnât crying anymore. He walked up to Tobias, awkwardly avoiding eye contact, and apologized softly, âTobias Clark, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have said you donât have a dad, and I shouldnât have called your mom a disgraceful woman. I heard my mom call someone a disgraceful woman when she was insulting them. I didnât know that it meantâ¦that no one wants their mom. If someone insults my dad and mom, I would definitely get mad too. Iâm sorry.â
Children donât really have any malice, and Lucas doesnât have any either. Heâs just a little tyrant. Heâs spoiled by his family, and children grow up following their parentsâ lead. So unconsciously, he learned some of Rhiannonâs ways. But in reality, heâs just a five-year-old child, and his thoughts are still very simple. Sometimes, he canât 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 donât 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 doesnât like Lucas or think highly of him, since Lucas has genuinely apologized, Tobias isnât the type to hold a grudge. He immediately jumped off the sofa, raised his hand to pat Lucasâ head, and said, âAlright, I understand. Just donât do this again.â
âOkay!â Lucas nodded heavily, sniffed, and muttered, âTobias, I wonât go against you anymore. Youâre nice, much better than my mom. From now on in kindergarten, Iâll have your back! Whoever you want me to hit, Iâll hit them!â Rhiannon was infuriated.
Tobiasâ phoenix eyes squinted, and compared to Lucas, who was much more polite and sensible, he glanced at Lulu Kennedy and then solemnly said, âThe teacher has said many times that we canât fight in kindergarten. I wonât let you hit anybody, and you should also stop bullying girls in the future..â
