After that - he was OK - but she was a little understandly stand-offish. Was it just a personality clash - or a forewarning of things to come? He goes to day care every weekday and up until this morning - I had never witnessed this type of behavior. Clues, anyone?
What did the pre teen doo before he fired off.
Did she lean over him. reach for him.
Make a fast move.
What was his body language just be before he went off.
You need to note both and all of that to make a judgment call.
I just watch it but a one off can just be a bad day.
