Chopper

So all the kids at day care are quaking in their boots 'cause jb has started biting.
He's bitten 2 girls and 2 mommies in 2 days.

We swiftly put him into time out each time and then watch his lower lip protrude and quiver tremendously prior to the heart-wrenching tears he produces. These tears are either true regret for mis-deeds, or unadulterated anger at having been punished. When we reprimand him, he has difficulty making eye-contact and he looks so remorseful that it is hard to stick to our guns.

I think we would not be such hard-asses, but we definitely don't want to have that kid at day care that everyone else's parents call "Chopper".
