Where is the Manual?

Just when I thought things would get mildly easier, my son gets this note home from school. His color for the day Yellow, the remark from the teacher “spitting on friend.” My heart SANK….This is not something that I was ready to read. The talking out of turn, talking to much, not listening, not follow directions I would except, and am I better equipped to handle. But spitting on a friend. WHAT??

God where is the manual for this kid? Did I miss place it or did you forget to send it?

Where do I even being? I cheat... I let Nate deal with the hard part. :) (Thank you darling) 

 I come in once the big crocodile tears are rolling down his checks, due to the "lecture" he's received from daddy. As I tuck him into bed, I try to bring it all home by explaining that God has "rule book" that "we" his people need to follow. 

When asked how God wants us to treat others, he say's, "be kind, loving, caring and nice" 

(in my head I am thinking SWEET he has learned something) 

I ask, "What led you to spit on your friend?" 

He replies, "She was staring at me?"  

(REALLY !!!! my stomach is turning)

Then I thought about the other mom, and what she now thought of my son and worse yet, what she thought of his parents! 

So again ask where is the instruction manual for these kids?
