[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 307294, member: 84"] Well, I'm not sure how skilled at diplomacy I am..............Cuz if M had said one more "Excuuuuse me" to me I'd have ripped him a new one. I was biting my tongue as it was.:raspberry-tounge: BUT evidently M got the message loud and clear. He is Mr Polite now and we even had a very nice dicussion on his freaking out over every minor thing and how he was shooting himself in the foot by doing so. I'm a little surprised. But pleasantly so. No one wants someone in the class who just rubs you the wrong way all the way around. We seem to be getting along just fine now. He even sat next to me in another class today. So I'm guessing being a difficult child Mom has paid off. lol Back when I was younger that would've intimidated me......and I'd have obsessed over it something awful. Now I look 'em in the eye with that Momma Look that causes people to shake in their shoes.......and pretty much let it roll off my back. Maybe he's one of those people who's got to test your mettle before he can treat you as an equal........who knows? I still don't know if he's gonna freak himself right out of the class......but at least I can stand to be in the same room with him now. Which is good when you spend up to 8 hrs a day together.:happy: [/QUOTE]
