"Ashley isn't my friend anymore. I accidently hit her eye when I was putting on my jacket."
"She will not even talk to me. She said I gave her a black eye and that she can't even see me because now she is blind!"
"Wow, Laurel, this Ashley chick sounds a little dramatic!"
"Mom, we have been friends since last year and now she won't even talk to me!"
"Did you apologize?"
"Yes."
"Well, that is all you can do. She will be back to herself tomorrow."
That night, I was packing Laurel's backpack and found this letter. I just had to take a picture. First of all, the blue painter's tape over last year's Christmas candy cane and the plastic doll made me laugh so hard. I love how she wrote, "God bless you"
Well, bless Laurel's heart, this story doesn't have a happy ending.
She gets in the car the next day and throws the letter in the front seat and says, "Ashley read my letter and threw it back at me and said that she did not like candy canes!"
"She told me that she needs a break from me!"
Seriously, third grade.
So Laurel and I had a discussion about how important it is to choose good friends. We talked about how you never know what is going on with someone at home. I told her to be polite to little miss Ashley but we were not to lose anymore sleep over her!
It's so funny how Laurel, weeks later, says, "I'm not giving up on Ashley!"
This girl has a heart of gold!
