E.D. Boys - Part II

I went to Mrs. Rapattoni's office yesterday to meet up with the E.D. boys again (I previously blogged about them not too long ago). Finally, I got to see a side of them that I was warned about. The first time I met with them, they were total sweethearts but this time, there was a slight problem. Mrs. Rapattoni had two 6th grade boys and Ms. Ryan had another two in 7th grade so everyone agreed to combine the two groups together to try and work on getting along. Since the last time I met Mrs. Rapattoni's boys, they decided that I could pick the game the next time I come in. I picked Trouble and everything seemed perfectly fine until it was time to choose who got which color. Popping the bubble to see who gets to go first was easy but once we had to pick the color, the real trouble happened! Since the board doesn't have a regular spinner like Life does, we tipped the board upside down and spun it around to find out who would get which color. One boy, Ted, said that he would only play if he had the color red. Unfortunately, Ted did not land on the color red so he stole some of the game pieces and hid under the table. Mrs. Rapattoni and Ms. Ryan gave him the opportunity to leave and go back to class rather than play with the rest of the boys but he never left so we had to call Mr. Bullicki in. He did not cooperate so Officer Burlap was called in. Ted had to be restrained while the other three boys played the game quietly and got along just fine. Eventually his mother arrived and Ted went home on suspension for a couple of days. I can certainly say that yesterday was not like an average middle school visit!
