Curiosity, Thoughts and Whatever...

Just a few days ago, my mom told me that my son was accused of stealing some kid sweets. It was during school over period when my mom went to pick up my son. This kid came over to my mom and started to complain to her that my son took his sweets and kept it in the bag. I guess my mom didn't know what to do and to please the kid, she checked my son's bag to see whether the other kid was telling the truth or not. This created a commotion and all the other kids around being busy body came over surrounding them. If that wasn't enough the teacher also came over. After searching and checking the whole bags, pockets and etc, there was still no sweet to be found. After that the kid make another ruckus and pointed to another location, my mom when along and kept entertaining the other kid. Finally after much hassle and embarrassment no sweet was to be found.

I felt bad and try to support, persuade and stand up for my kid at home. There was nothing much to it actually but then I felt my kid was being embarrass for no apparent reason. The kid sure be ashamed of himself and given a good whack. Since my mom is from the old school type, she kept telling my kid to refrain from taking any stuff from other kids. My wifey was also saying the same thing. I felt really bad for my kid and I felt being in his shoes. I didn't go hard on him cause I realise quickly that I needed to deal with this in a delicate manner.

However, I told this story to a colleague and she advised me that I shouldn't have done what my mom should do. Since it was only over a sweet and its a small matter what my mom should do is ignore the kid and tell him we will give the kid more sweets tomorrow. Later at home only then should we checked his bag and try to persuade him to tell us the actual stories. Kids are really delicate and very sensitive. I felt I didn't deal with my kid intelligently. I should have play with him and coax him to tell me the whole story. I also hate the rude kid. I felt that kid also need to be spank for telling half pass stories and creating a scene. You know how kids are in school. At their age, they don't know how to tell right or wrong yet and if the kid give you a sweet and then turn around and cry fault and accused you of taking his sweets..........who would you believe ? This happen in every school and kids are just kids. We shouldn't take their words and action too seriously most of the time.

I need to find out who the rude kid is.
