It isn't all angst and anguish living on T.K.'s side of the rules.
T.K.'s teacher puts large achievement stickers on the kids' shirts if they do something particularly difficult or remarkable in class. The idea is that parents, friends and who-all can then ask what the wonderful achievement was, and the kiddo gets to bask in admiration multiple times over.
Well, T.K.'s shy, bookish little buddy Donny came out at dismissal time wearing one the other day. "Hi, Donny," sez I. "Wow, what did you do to get one of those special stickers today?"
T.K., eyes shining with pride and excitement for his friend, bursts out, "I was bugging him and he used his words to say he didn't like it and I should stop!!"
Um, yeah. Well, if we can't be the good example, we'll be the obstacle that someone else overcomes to get the glory, right? Ooooo-kay.
