Poor Mark

So there's a kid in Elise's class named Mark. Poor Mark has been told that he's the smartest, most gifted, brilliant little man in the whole world. He repeats it on a regular basis. He's been telling all the kids that he's a genius. A real genius and that the Lord God blessed him by making him smarter than all the other children.

So Elise told me yesterday that she has this funny joke where she whispers to him in a chant: "You're not a genius.
You're not a genius.
You're not a genius."

She says it over and over until he gets up and screams "I AM A GENIUS!" and has to go sit in the naughty chair. She thinks it's the funniest damn thing in the world. I asked her to please stop taunting Mark because he clearly can't control himself. She said she'd try, but can't make any promises.
