Noelle Preston knelt in front of Ethan Preston. "Ethan, tell me what happened."
Ethan looked up into her eyes. "I didn't hit him. He fell down on his own."
"Lying at such a young age! Look at Quentin. Does that look like he just fell down once?"
Ms. Young continued her accusations. "One bad apple spoils the bunch. All the children at this kindergarten are the future pillars of society. Your son's poor character will only be a bad influence on the other kids. I'm going to apply to the school board to have you expelled from this kindergarten!"
Noelle Preston couldn't believe such awful words were coming from a kindergarten teacher.
"Ma'am, my son said he didn't hit anyone. I believe my son. Until you have proof, please don't slander him," Noelle said firmly.
"It doesn't matter what you believe. My son is hurt, so your son must take responsibility! First, he's going to apologize to my son!" Wendy Sherman demanded resolutely.
