Who Needs Drivers Ed?

Fletcher recently had a little incident at school where some of the kids including Fletcher were in an area they were not supposed to go during recess. Fletcher claims that he "only went halfway" just to tell them to come back. Of course, we had the long talk about obedience and boundaries and how he is to tell a teacher if someone is being unsafe and not to handle it on his own.

I was still a little unsure exactly where the kids were in relation to the playground so when we drove by Fletcher's school Friday night on the way to dinner, I had Kevin pull in so Fletcher could explain it to us.

Fletcher: S and J were over there by that bush.

Mom: (pointing) Right over there?

Fletcher: Yes.

Mom: And where were you?

Fletcher: I was following at a safe distance.

Kevin: (bursting out laughing)

Mom: (through gritted teeth under my breath) You are not helping.

Mom: Fletcher, we are not talking about your driving abilities...
