When my oldest son was in third grade the guidance counselor called me in for a meeting. She told me that his teacher referred him to her to be tested for ADD. "But I don't think your son needs to be tested and I told her that." This teacher had a reputation for being a bitch but I noticed something one day....she reminded me a whole lot of my favorite aunt who was misunderstood sometimes by people that didn't get her humor. When I realized that I started talking to her like I did my aunt. To this day my son will tell you that she was his best teacher and we all got on like a house afire.
