Yep. And ...<em>"At least she did apologise."</em><br /><br />Yep. And then contrived to victimise and blame me for as much as she could before I was mercifully moved elsewhere.<br /><br />My crime?

My Dad looked into my eyes and asked if I was lying. I said no, and that was enough as he had taught me that lying was worse than any other offence. He trusted me.<br /><br />He marched up to the school, demanded of the head that she ask the bigger kid to his face. When confronted, he broke down in tears and admitted it.<br /><br />The head's face was a picture as she stammered profuse apologies on our way back out of front door.<br /><br />My Dad trusted me because he had taught me well, and I respected him for standing up for me when an injustice had occurred.<br /><br />That's what To Utley <strong>should</strong> have done.
