The first but I'm sure it's not the last

Isaac came crying to me one day that Ethan had punched him in the eye. Need I mention that he probably deserved it? Well sure enough, the next day he had a slight yellow/green bruise under his eye. His first black eye! I remember I got mine around the same age but amazingly not from my older brother but from a foosball handle.

The week of Isaac's black eye, his 1st grade teacher, bless her heart, said he had been zoning out at school a bit and not acting as he normally did... and then she said, "I noticed a bruise under Isaac's eye..." So what are you hinting at lady? That there's abuse in the home and he's distraught about it? So!? No, that's not funny. I'm sure it's way too true in some cases, and I don't blame her at all for asking. But hey Ethan, thanks for the interesting experience for all involved!
