My nephew, the Pistol is five and in kindergarten. He brings home a folder everyday in which the teacher puts a smiley or frowny face and my sister is required to sign it.
When my sister asked for the folder, the Pistol said, “That folder is filled with lies, written by a liar.”
Of course it was a frowny face and read, the Pistol pulled his pants down and sat on a table.
When questioned further, the Pistol replied, “No, I pulled my pants down, then up and then sat on the table.”
His teacher told my sister not to worry about it. It’ll be better once he’s moved to the gifted program.
What the teacher really meant – “Don’t worry about it. It’ll be better once he’s out of my class.”
The pistol rocks! ❤

I wish your nephew was in my K class…he’d have so much fun, there’d be no problems with smiley or frowny face folders! Happy Summer to Mom and Auntie! Enjoy that smart little Pistol of yours!

He sounds like a Pistol. I hope that folder has plenty of smiley faces for every frown. Kids like to feel successful and it empowers them to do more of the same. 🙂

When Children are smarter than their teachers 😉 Now Ol’ Pistol there reminds me of someone from a longtime ago who went from being a semi-permanent resident in the elementary school principals office to a Sgt in the US Paratroopers, earned his BA in three years, a Congressional Assistant to a Chairman of The International Relations Cmte, running the PR for South Korea Culture and Tourism in the US, to a Writer 🙂
Keep Slinging Them Guns Pistol, the Universe has Ordered a great life for you!

Pistol is the perfect name for this young fellow. What an interesting character. No moss is going to grow beneath HIS feet, smiley faces or frowns. 🙂

It is good to have such a clear grasp of justice at an early age. I hope that school does not beat it out of him.

The best part of that story is when he says what he thinks, out loud, fearlessly.
