"I ordered him to the front of the bus, and he refused."

"I refuse punishment until I am told for what I am being punished."

"Your kid refuses punishment."

"For what?"

"I told him I would accept punishment if he told me for what I was being punished. He refused."

"Well, why don't you just tell the kid why he is being punished?"

"He knows why."

"Well, we don't. So tell us."

"Ask your kid."

"We're asking you."

"Someone farted."

"What?"

"Someone farted. The other kids said I, 'did it' and he decided to punish me for doing 'it' with no idea what 'it' was."

"Is that true?"

"No."

"Then why are you punishing him?"

{silence}

"You could ask the other kids."

"Nevermind. Sorry to have called you in. I will take care of this. You go to class now. And I'd like you to stay behind for a private little chat."
