Sweetest kid ever!

Not that we did not already know that Nya is the sweetest kid on the planet, but I have a story to back that up. So, the back story, there is a kid in Nya's class who must come from a really low income home (*which is super rare in her school but anyways). This kid has tried to steal Nya's hand sanitizer, her scissors, her pencils, etc. The kid always gets caught and gets a note sent home to her parents about the incident. So the other day the kid got caught trying to steal a pencil from Nya's pencil box. She goes when everyone is doing an activity and tries to put the goods into her pockets. The teacher called her to the desk (the teacher sent me a detailed account of the incident) and told her that she was going to have the principal call her parents and tell them what is happening. Nya over heard this and said to the teacher "It's okay Mrs. Kohmetscher...I forgot that I told her she could have some of my favorite pencils." The kid was crying because she was so afraid of getting in more trouble. The teacher said Nya comforted the kid (who was stealing from HER) and then offered her whatever pencil from her pencil box that she wanted to keep. Later in the day, the teacher asked Nya if that was true (about telling her to get a pencil) and Nya said that it wasn't but she did not want her to get in trouble over a pencil. The teacher explained to Nya that she was not worried about the pencil but that the kid had to learn that stealing was very wrong. Sooooo, guess what my perfect child said to her then....

"I know Mrs. Kohmetscher but can't she learn that lesson when it is not this close to Christmas?" Nya was worried that if her parents found out she would not get any presents from them or from Santa. Also, Nya told the teacher that the girl told Nya that she wanted her pencils because Nya has all the coolest pencils and she was just jealous. So, BAM....nicest kid on the planet.

Also, lets just think what I would have done as a child if I caught a kid stealing from me! I would have beat the kid up, told on the kid, made sure her parents found out and then made the kid buy me 20 brand new pencils because she got all her nasty germs on my other pencils. It is clear that niceness in NOT genetic...unless it skips a generation, in which case...Nya inherited it from my mom!
