Urania was in kindergarten. She had a wonderful patient teacher. Urania often found it hard to sit still. Her teacher told her that she had better sit still. Urania thought and thought. She came up with a solution.

That day, she brought home a note. It read:

"Susan, your daughter was told to sit still today. She took her whole bottle of glue and emptied it onto the seat of her chair then sat in it. When asked why she did that, she said that way she would be stuck and couldn't move. She would be sitting still."

Being the ever image of a parent, I didn't know whether to commend her on creative problem solving or chastise her for wasting the glue. I ended up laughing, which I am sure was not the best choice.
