School Bus Bully

When you think of a school bus bully, you wouldn't ordinarily think of a little five year old kindergarten girl. But this isn't any old kindergarten girl, this is Walker's sister, the very same Walker that intentionally broke the boards off of our fence one friendly afternoon last Spring.
Exasperated, Audrey climbed in the car those first few days of school and exclaimed, "It isn't even fair!" "Walker's sister is calling me names and calling my teacher names and she sits behind me every day and she won't even leave me alone!" "What kind of names?" I wondered. "Oh, like weeny head." she says with ease. Lovely! "Just kindly ask her to quit calling you bad names," I suggest. "But I already did that and she won't stop!" she adds in disbelief. Oh dear. A few days pass and then she gets into the car, enthusiastically this time. "Mom, I found Walker's sister and asked her to sit by me on the bus." "Why in the world would you ask her to sit by you Audrey?" I ask in shock. "Well, she keeps on bugging everybody now and calling them names and being rude, and I didn't want her to be able to bug anyone else anymore! So, I asked her to sit by me and we made pinky promises that she wouldn't be rude anymore!" Problem solved.

Disclaimer: (You may be wondering why Audrey would be climbing into the car after riding the bus. Let me remind you, it is September in Houston . . . the worste month for heat! I drive my car to the end of the cul-de-sac and patiently wait for the bus in my air conditioning! Only a few more weeks and we can wait outside like normal people!)
