completely truthful

It is so funny how completely honest children are, and especially children with special needs. My parents never really have to wonder if their child got in trouble that day. As soon as they get home and the parents ask what they did at school, the first thing they say is put their head down or sit in time out (if that is actually what happened). We could have gone on a field trip or done something really exciting but if they got in trouble that is the first thing that comes out.

Today J was COMPLETELY defiant and pretty much did anything that would make the teachers upset and get a reaction. If the children were holding on to the rope and walking down the hallway, J was off of the rope. If the children were sitting at the table listening to a story, J was trying to find some way to get out of his seat, and on and on. J's mother always comes to pick him up in the afternoon and the first things she has been asking lately is "did you have a good day?" and then "did you listen to your teachers?" Today was just like every other day, J's mom walked up to pick him up and the first thing she asked was "did you have a good day today?" Of course J said yes. The next question she asked was "did you listen to your teachers?" J's answer is always either yes or no. Today she asked him and he looked at her and said "well, kinda but not really." She had to turn right around to keep a straight face. It was hilarious! How could you not laugh at that? At least he was honest :)
