Quit spitting on me!

I was out at recess duty today,(yes I am assistant principal at an elementary) and a student raised his hand and told me the boy behind him in line was spitting on him.  I watched for a second and did not see the boy spit but the other student yelled, "He did it again, make him stop". Okay I admit the boy standing behind was a spitter, spit on others before, probably wanted to spit, BUT I WATCHED AND HE DID NOT SPIT!  I noted that it felt like I was being spit on and of course, it was almost raining.  I told the student and all was good.  So what is this blog all about?
Well sometimes you get spit on so often by the same source you can't see that the spitting is coming from somewhere else.  It is difficult to look around and notice where else a negative situation might be coming from when it always has come from the same source.  It pays to look around once in awhile and get another point of view. 
Kids lead my thoughts to analogies and revelations. 
Enjoy (blog pack of one always does)
