Nate and the Golden Ruler

Nate and the Golden Ruler

James has recently taken to doing "crafts". It's the first thing he wants to do after every meal. Usually, it goes something like this: James gets his paper, markers, stickers, and scissors from the craft desk, and proceeds to cut the paper into little pieces, once satisfied, he's requests help getting stickers off the sticker sheet and proceeds to cut the stickers into little pieces. Other times, he asks for play dough, requests that it be rolled flat .... and then cuts it into little pieces.

Anyways, he was preparing to do "crafts" again and had taken Nate's "Golden Ruler" (A Sunday School craft: A plastic ruler with gold glitter glued on) off the desk. Nate saw this, took offense, and grabbed the ruler out of James' hands. "James, this is mine." Then pointing at the sticker on the back. "See, it says, 'NATE', so this is mine. You can't have it."

"Actually, Nate, it says, 'Treat others the way you would like to be treated.' It's the Golden Rule..."
