"Mrs. Davis, I have to tell you that Mr. Needy told me yesterday he really needed you to come back today. He missed you and doesn't want you to be gone anymore" - AHHHH that's sweet .... or so I thought

"Mrs. Davis, (insert boys name) just stabbed (insert other boys name) in the (insert body part .... yes that one) when we were in the bathroom" - Why did he take a pencil to the bathroom you ask??? Your guess is as good as mine.

"I don't want to" - too bad, so sad

"I don't like you" - funny, I don't particularly like you much either

"My mom said if someone punches me I can punch back harder"

"Tell him that if will just stop crying his granny will take him to get an ice cream at Water and Ice" - nice reinforcement, thanks grandma I appreciate that support

"He says he's crying because he is hungry" - well perhaps if you fed him some breakfast before you sent him to school he wouldn't be hungry

"Tell him that if he stops crying I will bring him a lunchable" - again nice reinforcement (I wouldn't stop crying either, maybe if I held out long enough they would offer me a million dollars to stop crying)

"I hate you" - ya well, get over it

"Your not nice" - nope I'm not

"Please don't call in sick tomorrow"

"Please don't quit"

"Mrs. Davis, Mr. Needy lost his mind in PE and hurt a bunch of people" - wonder if he got the ice cream they promised if he stopped crying??

"Someone must have done something to him for him to hurt someone else. Mr. Needy would never act like that" - ya, ummm ok ... if you believe that I have some oceanfront property here in Arizona I can sell you

"We were really naughty today Mrs. Davis" - yes, yes you were

"Wow, it sounds like you had quite a day" - it's like this each and every day

"I'm so sorry" - don't be sorry do something (anything) to fix it
