Apparently there was some major girl drama today in the 4th grade glass. My 10 year old said it was a great tragedy. I asked him for the definition of “tragedy” and he agreed “drama” was a more fitting word.

My boy is me made over, tender heart and all. And when a friend is upset, even over something a little silly, he feels it deeply.

He went into detail over dinner about how one girl decided she no longer wanted to be friends with another girl. The second girl just so happens to be his “girlfriend”. She told him all about it and then said, “today is not the day to be messing with me!”

His tender heart didn’t interpret this properly and he was convinced she was upset with him. He even said he gave up tossing the ball around with his boys to play tag with her to hopefully make her feel better. 💜

I explained to him that sometimes the best friend is the one who lets you yell and get all your anger out and then stays by your side while you compose yourself and go back to your normal activities. I assured him that he did the right thing and that maybe tomorrow will be less of a tragedy and more of a comedy.
