Sidebar: I later informed CJ that he's half yankee, anyway, on my side. :)
So words were had, threats issued (for context, each child must wear a photo ID lanyard; CJ, having made the honor roll, has a "gold card" stuck in his ID sleeve which entitles him to things like early dismissal to lunch and recess), and when all was said and done, Grant ended up suspended from the bus and from school for two days.
Upon Grant's return, CJ received a letter of apology:

The kid had a good point about not calling someone from Spain a Mexican! hahaha.
This is hilarious, and i want to know what he is first most sorriest of!
Having taught both these boys I can see how they can be "frienenmies" with each other That is a great word. Did you make it up?
Hey, congratulations to CJ for making the honor roll! I missed that bit of news.
As for your post, Jen, I know I had to issue some apologies in my earlier school days, but I was never on the receiving end of such a letter. I wonder if that might have made me realize the actual value of sending apologetic letters to people? I was rather cynical about them because I only wrote them when teachers or counselors made me.
Don,
I didn't make it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenemy
...it just cracks me up.
Lizard,
I'm big on the written apology with CJ and Meredith, too. I had to giggle when you said teachers or counselors made you write letters of apology; I would have thought you FAR too well-behaved to get in such trouble! :)
When do you head to .au?
