A six-year-old boy who is known for being very sweet and thoughtful was found guilty of a revenge plot. His parents, however, and actually very proud of him. They were starting to worry that maybe he was too soft for this cruel world, but it turns out he has no problem sticking up for himself with needed. Not with violence, of course, but with pure childhood ingenuity! The boy had many friends and loved to share. He always had the foresight to bring extra toys and snacks for his friends. So when it was his birthday, he and his mom packed goodie bags to bring to school to distribute to his class. The school is very strict about allergies, keeping the campus nut-free and even giving a class to educate the little kids on all the allergies and how it's important they are careful. So while the mom was packing the goodie bags full of treats, she made sure to stay nut-free and then ask her boy if anybody had any other allergies. He told her that one boy in his class was very allergic to chocolate and to not put any in his baggy. She double checked with her son if he was sure, and he said he was sure. 

 

Lo and behold, when she went to give out the goodie bags, it turns out that this classmate actually wildly loved chocolate, but was also know to be the class tormentor… The parents had a good laugh and actually patted their boy on the back.
