Jack got his first fat lip at school today

Missy sent me an email this morning and told me that one of the kids in Jack's preschool class (Jacob) threw something and hit Jack in the mouth and gave him a fat lip. I don't know why, but that really, really pissed me off! I know Jacob's parents and they seem like very polite and upstanding people and I know they don't teach their son to do things like that, but I can't help but want to beat the tar out of that boy for hurting my son. The only times in my life that I've ever been in a fist-fight were because I was defending my brothers - and I kicked butt every time because I was so angry! Well, except for that one time in 4th grade where I got in a fight with a kid on the way home from school... He didn't like me for some reason and I kept avoiding him hoping to avoid a fight. Well, I finally stood up to him on the way home from school one day and he hauled off and hit me one time in the mouth and I saw stars and thought I had just been shot! I immediately started crying and I ran home as quickly as I could hoping that bully wasn't following me. Anyway, Missy said the director of Totten Hall came down to Jack's room and took both boys up to her office so she could show Jacob's mother what had happened to Jack's lip. Missy said his teacher was apologizing profusely too, so I was happy to hear that they took the event seriously. I really feel sorry for Jacob's parents. They're just like us and I'm sure they're worried sick and racking their brains on what to do with their son, just as we would be.

Anyway, I just hope I don't see that boy alone in a dark alley! :)
