Ethan gets busted

Last week Ethan got in trouble for the first time at school. As a reward for being good in his class, the teacher gives out cheer stickers. At the end of two weeks whoever has the most stickers gets to go on a picnic with the teacher. Well Ethan doesn't care about picnics, so he was giving his stickers to the little girl who sits next to him. Poor Ethan promised me that he didn't realize that it was cheating to be giving his stickers away. The teacher then told me that he was trying to give the little girl a good excuse to tell her parents so that she wouldn't get into too much trouble. Ethan said he wasn't doing that, he was trying to tell the girl to tell her parents that sometimes kids make mistakes and we can repent. Needless to say, Ethan got a whole week of recess taken away, a very upset teacher to deal with, a mom who really didn't think it was that bad, and a dad who wants to go talk to the principal about it. Maybe I am being too easy on him.
