“She’s fine. She is having a sculpturing lesson with a teacher’s aide in a room next door.”
Both Bette and Tina turned to see their daughter, when they were interrupted.
“We need to speak about today’s incident.”
“First we want to see our daughter,” Tina stated as she looked levelly at Ms. Vonnegut.
The director appeased, “I’ll ask her teacher to join us.”
The mothers walked out of the office and quickly found the room where Angie played.
“Hey Boo,” Bette said cautiously as she opened the door and the mothers entered.
“Mommies!” Angelica slipped off her chair and ran to hug her Mama T and Mama B.
She grabbed their hands and pulled them to where she had been working with clay. “Look, I made a wolf.”
Bette tried to catch Tina’s eye but Tina deliberately looked away.
“That is a beautiful wolf, Angie. Have you made anything else?”
She shook her head, “Nope. I only make wolves.”
Bette crouched down so that she was at Angie’s level, “Boo, did something happen in class today?”
Angelica nodded, “Ms. Quigley lied.”
Bette looked up at Tina. Both wore puzzled expressions. Tina knelt next to Bette and asked, “How did Ms. Quigley lie?”
“During story time.”
“You like story time.”
Angelica nodded “But not today. Ms. Quigley lied.”
Bette asked, “What did she lie about?”
“She read a book and a wolf ate a grandma and dressed in her clothes so it could surprise a little girl and eat her. I raised my hand like I’m supposed to and I told her it was a myth. She said it was make-believe.” Angelica looked back and forth at her mothers’ faces. ‘Mama T said that lies make people want to hurt wolves. That is true, Mama T, isn’t it?”
“Yes, Boo. It’s true.”
Bette scowled.
“When she wouldn’t stop lying, I took the book and threw in the trash can.”
~~
A shame-faced Bette and an angry Tina returned to the director’s office for the official discussion.
“Ms. Kennard, Ms. Porter, you have explained the close identification with wolves that Angelica developed after her visit to a wildlife sanctuary. That she sometimes thinks she has a wolf family. We have tried to be accommodating. Based on Ms. Kennard’s suggested ending, we asked the visiting light opera troupe to change the ending of Peter and the Wolf so that, instead of the villagers killing the wolf, the villagers elect the wolf as their mayor to show that even wolves can be anything. We changed “The Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’” to “The Boy Who Cried ‘Unrecyled Bottles’.”

Loved it. As usual. Esp. this part:”I find it incredibly inappropriate that you’ve even suggested that, you know I bet someone without wolf in-laws would never …” Tina raised her eyebrow and a chastened Bette began to …”Bette is so whipped. :-)
One of your best yet!!! All of the changes that the school had to make! LOL … I, too, will be sad to see them go. But they can always come back for visits, right? BTW, where’s Mendocino?
We need to start re-educating people, they have dog,cats,horses,monkey and etc that they make sure that they feed each and every day. So lets start feed the wofves day. Loved Lit bit and her beep beep. Even a wolf can have to much TV.Ecpell a four yr old from school. We all know that you can keep a wolf,but they are there on their own free will. Angie is a kind and gentle little girl and she loves the pups.Lets take a vote,get rid of some humans and adopte a wolf. Trouble will be lost without Bette,can;t we keep Trouble?????? okay I LOVE THIS STORY.
It’s always fun to read. Thanks.
pups wouldn’t hunt and ask for hot dogs instead LMAO this was another perfect chapter that made me laugh…i enjoyed it very much, thank you :) i hope there’s more, even after wolf family leaves
oh god that is so funny and true, my yungest son got expelled from an uppercrust kindergaten; and he said, he got mad because the teacher lied so he tossed a chair. it so wasn’t funny at the time. great writing!
This chapter will be on constant re-run in my mind today. The pup went beep beep and the wolf taught the chickens safety lessons…so f… funny.
Hahahaha..”beep, beep” the road runner cartoons…hysterical! Trouble wanting “Cranky Hunter’s” approval before going out in the woods! This is just brilliant…you have to have such a deviant sense of humour to write this story
Yeah, get the cubs out of there before they go Hollywood.
Bummer, in today’s society you can abuse the a teacher and get away with it with not much happening to the student. Angie was not violent maybe out of line but violent no way. Things seem to be falling apart with both the wolves and the humans. It is time to separate.
Whoa, how is grabbing a book and throwing it away an act of violence? That’s total exaggeration! Now about these non-hunting wolf pups… they haven’t had much opportunity to practice, really. How is Tina going to tell her family that they have to go? That’s going to be a tough conversation… Thanks for posting, Spumoni. (loved the Vonnegut reference btw!)
oh my goodness what will happen next? :)
“For everyone’s sake, human or lupine, the wolves had to go.” …All things, good of un-good, must come to an end. I’m sure Angelica has been imprinted with Wolf consciousness. She’ll always have Griffith Park…
Hi dear sweet Spumoni! Oh, noooooo!! The wolfies cannot GO! There must be a way to solve the problem on both sides of the families. Come on, sweetie! Sure you have a NICE way to find the proper solution. *wink wink* You know we are in love with the wolfies. Hahaha Please pretty, please. Don’t make them GO. *Getting the pom poms out to cheer* We want more wolfies! Yes! We want more wolfies! Yay! *huge grin* PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lu & Marsh (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick and Tias Adoradas to Patpez)
I am so loving this story Spumoni. There’s the laugh out loud sections, the love sections and the pure ridiculousness of the situation sections. Love this love this. Thank you :)
