This is an incident better related from another's point of view. Nicole, I copied and pasted.
This afternoon I got a phone call from my kids' school.
"Hi, Mrs. Jackson this is Mary Horn from Harmony "(the principle)
"I'm just calling to tell you about an incident with Brinley today at recess." I said "Brinley?" Yes! Well I guess that my cute little girl bit one of her friends on the playground when she cut her in line! How can this sweet face do such a thing especially to one of her BFF Rachel Z???I then said to Mrs. Horn "Wow, the principle found out about this?" She said "Yes, we take biting very seriously!" Well Brinley now has to stay inside from recess for the next two days. I told her that I would be speaking with her teacher and telling her to give her some chores to do maybe even clean the Kindergarten toilet!!! When I saw her after school I said, "I heard we had an incident at recess?" She said yes but don't tell DAD! I informed her that I already did and she started to cry! I just can't believe that of all my children she is the first and only one thus far that has visited the principles office and she's only in Kindergarten! I know she has a little fistieness(sp) about her, but biting? Tonight we walked over to Rachel's house with a card and a flower. Luckily best friends can forgive!
I received a phone call too. It was the school secretary to inform me that Rachel was in the health room, and let me know what happened on the playground. She asked if I would like to speak to the principal about it. "No thank you!" I know the principal quite well, and she is a dear woman. BUT Nicole and I could handle it from this point. Brinley already can't go on the playground for two days. After Brinley brought over the card and flower, Rachel wanted to do the same for Brinley. So, we have written the card. It says, "Brinley, I forgive you. Will you still be my friend forever and ever?" We are going to make cookies after school. I am glad that God gave little girls such forgiving hearts.

Whats up with the Biting Elsie bit my daughter in the butt yesterday!
Yikes! I'm glad it won't affect their BFF-ship :)
Wow, the drama! Hope Rachel is healing well and that Brinley is having fun scrubbing toliets. Great story!
At Institute this morning we talked about forgiveness and some women said that it was just too hard to forgive some injustices done to them. I wish I'd read this before I went to class -- it teaches us all a really good lesson. Three cheers for Rachel.
