The kids have a behavior chart in their classrooms and each of them has a clip with their name on it. They “clip up” for good behavior and “clip down” when they get into trouble…

Me: So, how was school today? Did you clip up?

Son: No, I clipped down… But! But, Dad! Clipping down is good today.

Me: Are you sure? I thought clipping down was bad. What did you do?

Son: I forgot.

Daughter: I clipped up today!

Son: Dad, clipping up in her class is bad!

Me: I don’t know about that…

Son: But, Dad! Um, in in my teacher’s mind? In her brain? I clipped up on her brain chart!

I almost wrecked the car trying to keep a straight face.
