Ask Blake Picture

Dear Blake,

I am 6 years old and in the first grade. A boy in my class is so mean to me. He puts marks in my coloring book, and he kicks my lunch box for no reason. How can I make him stop?

Dear Tanner,

Listen carefully to my instructions. The next time he does it, sneak and dial the numbers “9-1-1” on your teacher’s cell phone, and make sure the numbers are in sequence. Tell the grownup that answers the phone what your classmate is constantly doing, and also add that while he’s doing it, he yells out the words, “Allah is great!” and “Crayola jihad!” Wait a few minutes, and some grownups will quickly come and give him a timeout for being naughty, hopefully at a place called” Guantanamo Bay”. I hope this helps.

Blake
