Last week nine-year-old MJ was frustrated about a situation at school. She felt some classmates were not respecting her property. So...she decided to send her teacher, Mrs. Lugge, an e-mail discussing her concerns. Her teacher read the e-mail, addressed the problem and made MJ feel a sense of empowerment.
Flash forward to this morning. MJ and Mom jump into the car for the ride to school. The backseat is covered with fast food wrappers and empty sacks.
MJ: What is going on with all the trash back here.
Mom: Dad took my car yesterday to his baseball meeting. Wasn't that nice of him to leave his trash for us?
MJ: He does that all the time in his truck.
Mom: Well, if he wants to do that to his truck that's fine, but I think he needs to respect my property.
MJ: Maybe you should write a letter to Mrs. Lugge.
Good Idea!!
