Not Tuff Enuff

Joshua is a bully magnet and has been since preschool. He is sensitive and kind. A poet, a dreamer, a peacemaker. Which will definitely wow his wife someday, but it's the kiss of death in public school. Even at Camp Slowie there is a boy that can't seem to stop himself from punching and pushing my boy around. I am fighting the urge to go grab someone by the throat. Crack some skulls, take some names. Make a snotty phone call to a bully's mother. You know, MamaBear stuff. Joshua does know the steps. Avoid the bully, tell him to knock it off, if he doesn't, consider smacking him back, talk to the teacher or the principal. Blah, blah, blah. I sent him off today knowing he just might do what he does every time. Wait for that bully to want Joshua as a good friend.
