namecalling...

Chortle is into namecalling. He thinks its funny to make fun of other people. I really really can't stand that. It makes me madder than anything because he usually is picking on someone smaller and weaker.

Today it was the neighbor kid and the name was "big butt."

What do you do? I threatened him with names, but that defeats the purpose. I can't very well go around calling him poopy pants or something like that to teach him how bad name calling is...so I retreated into what I know best....essays and lines. So Chortle wrote 100 lines of, "I will not call names."

It took him an hour. He worked hard at it and I was very proud of him. 100 lines...thats a tough pill to swallow...especially when your cousin is over to play.
