I went to UES again today. When I got there Shannon said that there was a physical fight on the playground during recess so the boys were coming up to talk about it. Charlie and Owen were playing a game called Hobbles and Vampires. The two are against each other and the hobbles have secrets that the vampires need to find out. ( or something) So Owen was trying to distract Charlie so the other vampires could get information. Owen ended up running up to Charlie and jumping on his back, so Charlie started elbowing him. According to Owen it was very hard and hurtful, but to Charlie it was a little nudge. Once Owen got off, he punched Charlie and from there they just started hitting each other. Shannon discussed with them that physical altercations are never okay and the next time this happens they will lose their recess'. They also talked about other games that would be okay to play that didn't involve contact. The boys left as friends and not being mad at each other and understanding what they did wasn't okay and they need to make better choices. Both of them are really smart though will understanding what she is saying. Owen kept saying that Hobbles and Vampires always got them in trouble because someone always started fighting. He though nobody ever understood that they need to stop if they want to keep playing it.
I was there for 40 minutes.
