One of his teachers called him a brat. He didn't know what it meant - I don't use words like that - but the tone was enough to deflate him. He asks me what it means and I want to lie so that he doesn't get the full impact of her inappropriate label, but I default to an honest, brief explanation, with the addendum that it wasn't ok for her to say that.
No, you're being a brat
No, you're being a brat
