Toddler gangsterism

Last week, Tee came home with a bruise on her chest. If it was a bruise on her hand or leg, I wouldn’t have cared less, but since it was on her chest, I took notice. It’s not everyday you get a bruise on your chest? I didn’t think that at her age it might’ve been a hickie (love-bite) unless there was a discreet paedophile on the loose.

Naturally, I asked her how she got it, not half expecting a straight answer. Yet she revealed that Vi (her Korean gangster classmate) had whacked her with a toy stick. I was livid! It would’ve been a pretty hard whack to cause a bruise! I demanded to know if she had told her teacher about the incident. Negative.

The next day, I told her teacher about the bruise. The teacher said she hadn’t noticed the girls fight but would keep an eye on them. Fair enough, although I considered subsidising a CCTV system to the school just so I knew what the hell was going on. When Tee came home that day, she had a 3 inch scratch on her face and I felt my veins dilate.

What happened?! She said it was Vi again. Now, I have seen this Vi – she is large enough to take down the boys at school and does go around pushing and hitting other tots. Needless to say, I was not pleased.

Rolling up my sleeves the next morning, I marched up to the teacher to inform her of Tee’s scratched face when I witnessed with my own eyes, Tee….MY Tee, the tiniest girl in class; first sitting on Vi…..Plonk….Then pushing Vi off the chair. *smack my head with hand*

I immediately pulled Tee into line and warned her that she was to do no such thing. And then the teacher explained that it was usually Tee who started these ‘fights’. She added that it was normal and that they were just being territorial, not realising the consequences of their actions. I also realised that Tee never came home with complaints. Instead, I transferred my own emotions onto her.

OK. So she’s on her own now. I’m not fighting any of her battles if she starts them herself!

  1. oh dear, this is one path all of us has gotta cross, i guess.

    though cairo has yet to start her playgroup, i have had several milder incidents which left me scratching my head too.

    i was apologetic when she was the bully”er” and indignant when she was the bully”ee” and needless to say, a little embarassed for either.

    my friend – who teaches at a preschool – advised that i should just let the kids settle their own “business”, unless the case is pretty major.

    Yeah, I agree to just let them get on with it.

  2. i like a&a’s comment … cili padi.

    Actually…..what does it mean when someone calls you a chili padi? *blur as usual*
