“These five are making my life a living hell”, exclaimed the enraged principal Rachel, adjusting the bi-spectacles around her eyes, as she studied each of the boys thoroughly from head to toe – Andy’s black eye, Brian’s broken tooth, Chris’ bruised face, Daymond’s agony and Eric’s limp.
“Another brawl” reported Ms Eva.
“Suspend them” said Rachel.
“I have a better plan. How about a team-building activity”? asked Eva, whispering her plan into Rachel’s ears, who nodded affirmatively.
Sunday morning, during their Lowe’s shopping trip, they bought some red paint cans and brushes and headed to the park, where sat an unattractive bench amidst the trees and a jogging trail. She instructed the reluctant boys to commence their job. After two hours of fatigue, frustration, hard work and several brush strokes, the result was marvelous.
“See, you all can create beautiful things when united”, she triumphantly remarked, adoring the beautiful red bench.

Creative punishment. I hope they can see they can all be a team and not just against each other now. But I kind of getting the feeling it’s going to take the boys awhile to learn. Great write!

Yeah, true. But I think he should have been given a wake up call at a younger age. Whatever he got, didn’t effect him. But maybe you can’t win.
