Elliot took a pen from Layla's pen holder and scribbled his signature on the piece of white paper.
After signing it, he returned the paper to Layla. "Layla, what happened? Your teacher didn't tell me about it."
"I told my teacher not to tell you all about it. " Layla took the signed paper and sat down by her desk. She said glumly, "She told me to write a self-review."
Elliot was stunned. He immediately pulled a stool over and sat down next to Layla. He asked in a low voice, "Why do you have to write a self-review? What did you do?"
He did not believe that his daughter would make any huge mistakes. However, if she did not make a huge mistake, her teacher would not have asked her to write a selfreview.
"There's an annoying boy in our class. He keeps following me around. Today, he wanted to follow me into the toilet. I was so angry, so I beat him up," Layla's voice faltered, "His parents came to school. They were angry, and they wanted me to apologize to him, but I did not want to, so my teacher told me to write a self-review."
Elliot immediately took Layla’s hand and looked at it closely. "Baby, are you hurt?"
Layla awkwardly flushed. She retracted her hand. "I hit him with a stick."
Elliot was speechless. No wonder the boy's parents wanted Layla to apologize. It looked like Layla had hurt the boy.
"Then, you should listen to your teacher and write a self-review!" Elliot said. "If you
don't want Mommy to know, I won't tell her.
"Don't tell her. It's such an embarrassing thing. I don't want to know." Layla had a nervous expression.
"Hmm. I will help you keep your secret."
