A few days ago
Nate: This girl in my class is so mean. She talks bad about me to her friends. It drives me crazy. I haven't done ANYTHING to her!
Rod: What does she say?
Nate: I'd rather not say.
Robyn: What is her name?
Nate: Eunice (name has been changed, obviously :)
Robyn remains silent but files this information away for later use.
Today at the science fair
6th grade girl: Hey, you're Nate's mom, right?
Robyn: Yes, that's right. What is your name?
6th grade girl: Eunice.
Robyn (seizing an opportunity): Ah, so YOU'RE Eunice. Nate has told me about you. He said that you say such nice things about him and are very kind. As a mother, that makes me very happy. Thank you for being nice to my son.
6th grade girl looking surprised and not a little confused just smiles.
Robyn (to herself): I guess that's better than cutting off her arms and spitting in the hole.
