A Compliment Taken

(after school, talking in the kitchen...)
Andrew: “Mr. G. is a good teacher, Mom.”

Me: “What do you mean?”

Andrew: “Well, he doesn’t let people be lazy. He's actually kind of tough. He makes us work hard…if kids are just kind of doing whatever, he will be like, ‘Just get going’ and stuff.”

Me: “Oh, so, you think he will help you to do your best?”

Andrew: “Yeah. He won’t let people just do easy stuff. He kind of reminds me of you.”
