Bus Stop Drama

Fidel walked Tootie down to the bus stop this morning, as usual. There are probably 15 elementary school kids at that one stop. Tootie is a pretty social little kid so she hangs out and chats while waiting on the bus. Neighbor kid never really hangs out with anyone except for Tootie. Anyway, Fidel and Tootie were at the bus stop and a group of kids saw Neighbor Kid coming and asked what his last name was. One said Taylor, and Tootie corrected them and told them the right name. The other kids were saying that Tootie was wrong so as Neighbor Kid walked up, she said, "Hey, Neighbor Kid, what is your last name" and that kid just busted out in a m-a-j-o-r meltdown. Tears, snot, hysterical sobbing sort of meltdown. For being asked his last name. I'll just come out and say that he just ain't right. If you say y'all on a regular basis you know that that means. He screamed, "Tootie, that IS NOT NICE" at her and got her all upset because she hadn't done anything. She's really a kindhearted kid, unlike her mother. She just doesn't get the concept of picking on anyone or being deliberately mean. Maybe she will develop that trait at some point, god knows she has the genes for it, but she isn't mean now and I am pissed that Neighbor Kid is taking crap out on her. Honestly if he hates her that would be wonderful, I could absolutely do without hearing his annoying little mushmouth crap, but he doesn't have to make her feel like an asshole because he is a freak. I mean his name is on a huge plaque on the front of his mailbox, not like it's a secret. The issue is that his teacher asks him to spell his name in the mornings when he comes into the classroom, because he does not know how. This is a kindergartener, with a year of pre-k under his belt. I guess that's got him freaking out on anyone who asks his name. The mom just turned him around and walked him back home instead of putting him on the bus. She's a gossip too, so she will be blabbing around the neighborhood about Tootie being mean to her kid. This should get interesting. I'm medicated and pretty nice for the most part, but there is an evil redneck bitch inside this ladylike exterior that will get unleashed if she starts with my kids.
