I'm not sure I'd be mature enough to ask for conflict mediation if someone were to hit me.
Nah, you should just hit them back.
For Will it's great that he does that, and as a kid, there's no way I'd have been able to. As adults, we get to retaliate/defend ourselves, because there's no one to suspend us.
Just remember: "Officer, I was in fear for my life." If you can truly make that apply, just hit the fucker back. Harder.

A friend's dad says "Never accept an invitation to go crazy."
Excellent! I always say "you can't argue with a crazy person," but I like this much better. My family needs to be reminded of this regularly.
{{MG}} I'm sorry. Having to be the mean-mom sucks. Of course I tell mine if they didn't do the stupid stuff I wouldn't have to be the mean-mom. Work with me here kids!

Oh yeah - we will get to that point in a day or two.
Part of me is glad that he is beyond believing in Santa, otherwise he would be falling apart about getting in trouble this close to Christmas on top of everything else.

That Santa fellow sure has the young kids scared, doesn't he? Terrorist.
Some vets don't like giving them (I've had one that refused), but most will.
Then there's Teddy's former vet. Who insisted that Teddy be tranquilized before each appointment.
Hmmm. So, I guess my plan is to get a soft-sided AND a hard-sided carrier, put him in the soft-side and hope they let me take him into the cabin (especialy if it's below 10), and if not, put him in the hard-side and let him ride in the cargo (if it's above 10). Okay. Thanks.

good-lookin' that day and you should be fine.
Being a mom is HARD.
It really, really, really is. It's the hardest job I do, and the most guilt-ridden.

Maybe you should try being a hitman!
Wow. I'm not sure I'd be mature enough to ask for conflict mediation if someone were to hit me.
The thing is, unless you're sure you're going to win the fight, it's not as much about maturity as about self-protection. You call the principal in, there's a good chance the fight stops and the guy is punished. You throw a punch, you get beat up, the principal STILL gets called in, you're both punished.
The great thing about life after middle school is that you are so seldom held captive with people who despise you and whom you despise. Self-defense may be necessary on the streets, but it isn't necessary to keep your lunch money.

I can't figure out where to buy the conscience-ectomy.
