A Bo-ism for Bullies!

A few weeks back Brax started being bullied on the bus, by a fifth grader. It breaks my heart to know that my little (okay, not so little, but smaller than most 5th graders) Kindergartner has been coping by hiding under the seat from this kid. So we had a little family sit down to try and resolve this problem.

Brax's idea: "I'll just tell him to pick on someone his own size!" That is a classic, but not a guarantee

Me: I'll get on that bus grab him by the back of the neck and give him a little taste of his own medicine and see how he likes it! Then I'll call his mom, because I don't know any mom's that would tolerate their kid being a bully. (This was, of course just an idea said quietly to myself).

Matt: Said something nice and rational, but later told him to say "my dad knows where you live"

So here we are talking it over when Bo pipes up and says "Brax just say 'you wanna piece of me...wanna have a finger bending contest?'"

Great advice Bo.

I think it will work! That is so cute! I feel bad that Braxton has to deal with that though! Scary for any mother!

Poor kid! I would totally get on the bus with him and give that kid a piece of my mind for sure. He must just pick on him cause he is so dang cute and gets all the ladies! :)

Bo is so funny! I love all your stories. Yeah, you've just got to lay it down w/that bully. I would give it to my child if he was picking on a little kindergartener!!!
