..when we had the meeting with the principal and the bully's parents regarding AJ's bully issue, the bully's grandmother was too arrogant and too chatty. me and my mother just stayed quiet while the grandmother blabbed:
"I'm a kindergarten teacher for five years so i know how children behave!"
I should have said:
"Well i'm a college professor, teaching game development and artificial intelligence to college students. Including my teaching experience five years ago and my other teaching gigs for companies, that would sum up to more than five years, actually."
The grandmother resumed:
(Pointing to her daughter in law)"My daughter-in-law is an assistant manager in a popular bank!"
My mother should have said:
"Well, near that bank is a fairly large and diverse gift shop / department store, and i own that store."
The grandmother went on:
"My grandson is a naughty kid, i know. But what your grandson did was too unacceptable! He's probably like that at home as well!"
We should have said:
"AJ doesn't even go out to play. He just likes to stay at home and research on online encyclopedias and watch sci-fi movies. He feels guilty and apologizes immediately whenever he accidentally hurts someone, and that doesn't happen a lot at all. He wouldn't harm anyone unless provoked."
..but, we said nothing. we just agreed to the terms and made ammends.
..the lesson here? it's actually quite pathetic that the grandmother had to brag and judge -- it only shows how guilty their side was so they had to cover it up by blabbing nonsense.
