My son and I have been trying to focus on positive things in the morning before school- especially in the recent weeks with exams and tight schedules seeming to squeeze the life out of us.
He was dreading one particular class where he has a problem with students being nasty towards him, and I was telling him to "Choose the course of your day!" and "Promise me you won't let the bad behavior of a few kids ruin everything!" "Claim this day- it's yours!!!"
He smiled at me in my rear-view mirror.
When he exited the car and I started to pull away, I lowered my window and shouted out to him a thought which had popped into my head (without thinking)...
"Don't let the Bastards Get You Down!!!"
Quite a few eyebrows were raised by fellow parents who were also dropping their kids off this morning...
Sigh. I am pretty sure I will never be asked to serve on the PTA at his school.
True story.
