How Children Fight..

Tweet

Do you guys recall how you fought with other children when you were small? I recall the we use to tease our enemies with anything that would be ridiculous now that we think about it. Big ears, big forehead, squint eyes, ugly or a little physical here and there.. I don't know, some kids really just go through such phases in their lives like that and still grow up normal. Some kids are fortunate to not have experienced anything like that an also grow normal. I'd often hear kids from our street still doing name calling and teases which I would later laugh at. Not one would let up and would have a comeback for every word. But recently, when my brother was home, he related a call that his co-worker got from her son."Hey, your son punched again at school.. another teacher." and my brother tells us that his co-worker just laughed at what she was told. Though it does seem comical, others would surely be alarmed, realizing that their child could punch anyone and the teacher was no exemption. His co-worker then relates that it was something typical and she could even hear her son arguing with his playmates. Sometimes, her son would say, "I'll burn your house down!" Now, if someone's house definitely burned down, we'd have an idea and assume who to blame. It just got me wondering that before, we can just take for granted arguements between children but now, for children to even threaten things like burning houses.. though comical, its still alarming..
