Fancy Nancy and the Mean Girl (by Jane O'Connor)

3/5 = Liked It

Little Fox says: "I like races."

Momma: Why didn't Fancy Nancy want to race with Grace on Field Day?
Fox: Because Grace is kind of mean.  She says mean things to her.
Momma: It's definitely not fun to play with kids who say mean things.  Fancy Nancy had a talk with Grace and said she didn't want Grace to say mean things.  What did Grace do?
Fox: Listened.
Momma: Yes!  Fancy Nancy did the right thing by using her words and explaining her feelings and Grace did the right thing by listening and making better choices.
Fox: Yes.  Grace only said after, "Do you want a cookie?"
Momma: Yes!  And that was Good Friend Behavior.  Sometimes people don't realize the choices they make or the words they use hurt other people.  That's why it's important to use our words.
Fox: Yes.  That's what school says, too.
Momma: Exactly.  Grace might not have known that her words were hurting Nancy.  Now that she knows they bother Nancy so much, she makes better choices in order to be a better friend.
