Last weekend, our family attended a community carnival, and we ran into a Kindergartener who lives in our neighborhood, and is a regular Bookworm Wednesday participant. His mom told me he’d been getting picked on by a first grader on the bus, and when she asked him what he was going to do about it, he said this:
“I’ll sit with C. That kid won’t pick on me then.”
C. The protector. The third-grade bully-buster.
That’s my boy.

I wish I knew someone like C when I was in school. I was in desperate need of a protector.

That is very sweet! I love it that this little one thought it through, and the fact that C is such a trustworthy 3rd grader:D

It’s nice to know there are bully busters on some of our school buses!
