The Apology Letter I Never Expected

Yesterday was a pretty rough day at school in our classroom, but then Norah did something I never expected.  While on the swings at recess Norah's teacher came up to me and said "Someone just slapped me on my butt.  I turned around and there was little Norah grinning at me.  I told her to never do that again".

I found Norah in line and asked her about it and said she needed to apologize.  She got very quiet and said she would.  I later was in her classroom and still hadn't seen her apologize.  After school I made her write an apology letter.  It said:

Dear teacher,

I am sorry for spanking you.  I will never do it again.  I love you.

Love: Norah

She then drew a picture on the other side of the letter with her and her teacher in matching outfits.  I never thought I would see the day that my daughter had to write an apology letter for spanking her teacher.
