Another Sharon R story
It was 5th grade, I think. We were learning about how animals camouflage themselves. We were given pictures of animals for homework & told to draw the environment around them that would best camouflage the animal. The next day in school, the teacher put them all up on the wall & we were supposed to vote on the best ones.
Sharon was all ‘Wow! Maureen’s are the greatest, aren’t they?’ Talked me up to everyone and to me. Made me feel proud of myself. Got a lot of people to vote for me.
Then, later, laughing on the playground, talking about how funny it was that I actually thought they liked my pictures.
Sigh.
Ugh. Seriously…I don’t understand how kids can act that way. I’d be ashamed if they were my children but I’d like to believe my children wouldn’t be that cruel.
