I always hated hearing the chant of, "duck... duck... duck..." grow nearer and nearer until the hand of the fellow playmate and appointed Ducker came down on top of my head. In my opinion, it was a serious breach of personal space. Too bad I wasn't as clever as your little guy in working out such a great solution. Ha ha, Sam is my kind of kid.

But, I'm with Sam, I hated having my head touched too. :) I read this nodding the entire time - it would be exactly like me to think something awful had happened at school.

He's the only one allowed to touch his hair! I love that they can at least communicate about what is bothering them now, at least most of the time. It helps so much. It's almost never what you think it is. Jude would hate that too, I think. He’s the only one allowed to touch his hair!

I kept asking him why he wouldn't wear it and finally it came out that some kid he didn't even KNOW from another class made fun of Pokemon. I just said Who cares if he doesn't like Pokemon? None of MY friends like Pokemon but still like them. Hopefully he'll wear the shirt soon. Peer pressure and childhood anxieties sure start early, don't they??

Hopefully he’ll wear the shirt soon. Peer pressure and childhood anxieties sure start early, don’t they??

Isn't it funny how our imaginations run away with us sometimes? When my Sam told me he got in trouble on his first day of Kindergarten and I had visions of him at 16, tattooed, overly-pierced, and in the back of a police car. Glad you solved that mystery!

I'm a fairly new writer and can't believe all of the awesome mom-writers out there. I love how aware you are of your fears you're projecting onto your kids -- me too! Really enjoyed the visit.

They are a mystery. For pete's sake. The weirdest things get under their skin sometimes. I'm glad this problem was quickly resolved. That is great. Good for you, Mama Sleuth! Okay, kids.

Did you give the teacher a "heads" up, or did he come to this solution on his own? Heh… he knows what he likes and what he does NOT like!
