MEAN MOMMIE (4 1/2 YRS OLD)
Momma had a hard time today with Talia. She threw several fits because Charles threw dirt at her and in return, she kicked Charles (several times while he was lying on ground helpless.) Trying to get Talia to stop crying, wash her hands, and pack up to go home, while she threw herself on the ground crying out that she wanted to go home was a hard feat for momma because Talia wouldn't cooperate.
When Talia was finally cleaned up and packed up in the car and momma tried to explain that what Charles did was wrong but kicking him was wrong too. Momma's not sure if Talia really understood but said, next time she should go tell an adult if Charles does not stop bothering her. To her credit, Talia did ask Charles to stop.
When momma asked S what happened, S responded with "I was doing my own thing..." while trying to avoid eye contact with momma. "Well, did you see what happened?" S reluctantly agreeded that Charles was throwing dirt. "Was he throwing dirt at Talia or just throwing dirt and it hit Talia?" S responded that he was throwing dirt (and added her own commentary that throwing dirt is not nice) and it accidentally hit Talia. It's nice to know that S did not want to tattle on her friend Talia. But, she did call momma a "mean momma."
"Why was I mean?" asked momma. S responded with "Talia was upset and crying and you were mean to her." Yes, momma can see that could be interpretted that way to S. Picking Talia while she was kicking and screaming to wash her hands and carrying out to the car while she was kicking and screaming did seem like momma was a meanie. But, momma considered that better than letting Talia kick and scream on the ground while all the other mommies watched.
