He is innocent =)

So the other day, Ammar went to pick up Zaid from school. Ammar was standing behind the gate like all parents and can see zaid in line in front of him. The boy behind zaid was making him uncomfortable....Zaid kept walking and now he is very close to the teacher and Ammar. The kid behind zaid yelled loudly "Miss Johnson! Zaid said a bad word!". The teacher just looked at Ammar without saying anything and moved her hands and shoulder like SEE! Ammar said, " well he didn't learn that from home!" and took zaid.

Ammar asked Zaid in the car, "did you say a bad word to the boy". and zaid said,"yes"!

Now Ammar told me what happened and i felt so sad, mad, and surprised! I asked Ammar did you hear him saying it, because he was standing next to him! ammar said he didn't hear him!

I honestly did not want to believe it! like the mommy pride kinda thing kicked in...i felt I'm becoming like those mommy's who think their kids are angels! But something about the story is not making sense to me! I know Zaid has a temper sometimes and difficulty explaining things to me which makes him frustrated, but he never used bad words at home!

So, few days after this incident! I was in the kitchen and zaid yelled saying, "mama, Lana said a bad word"!!

i was like WHAT! the girl doesn't even talk! and i knew zaid has this thing all wrong :)

i asked him what did she say? he said something about the toy..I asked him again, "Zaid what does a bad word means? he said, " a bad word means not playing nice and not sharing" !!

OMG! I knew it, my baby is Innocent lol. I wanted to kiss him and hug him :) i felt sooooooooo relieved i knew something about the story was not right.. and I told Ammar what happened..

Now im not sure how zaid understand certain things..one time i saw zaid hit his friend so the dad came and told him why did you hit him, you think this is right? and zaid said yes! with such sad face!

i think he acts like when kids are given an option and they choose the last thing they hear. Im not sure how to teach him those things.

I know one day zaid might come home and say a bad word..we are not angels, and i pray to Allah to help me solve every problem we face in raising our kids in wisdom and patience. I pray that i never be unjust towards my kids or any human being. Sometimes we hear things and we tend to see it a certain way, but in realty it is SO different. It's a good lesson to never judge subhanallah :)

I'm planing to tell the teacher about it during the meeting that coming up soon, is she gona think of me like those denying the problem kinda mom ;)?
