Humans are weird: Tigers about the house part 2
Ghald knew this was going to happen. The humans were known to take care of younglings outside of their own species, but still it had happened.
Of course it had, the humans were not predators like the hadal and the younglings they had taken in, had all been herbivores.
So it was no surprise when the leader of the kindergarten wanted to talk to him because of a problem with his youngling.
No matter where they went, his youngling always got in trouble. If there was a problem, everyone assumed his youngling started it. He was a predator and therefore aggressive and unpredictable.
A human female was in the office as well. The head of the kindergarten sat down and took a breath before starting her story.
"We had a little issue today with biting". Ghald felt his whole body going cold. This was bad, very bad. If his youngling had bitten another youngling, they would not allow him to stay in the kindergarten.
"oh no" said the human female. Ghald wanted to tell her he was sorry and hope, she would not take this to the station commander.
"Don't worry the kids are fine but I wanted to inform you both so you know what happened." The kindergarten leader said.
"Ghald, your Hadour was playing in the sandbox, when Brian approach him. Brian wanted to play with the toycars, that Hadour was playing with, so he took the cars"
The human female sighted and said "Oh no not this again. We had this problem at the park too. I just don't know how to make him play nice and share" she looked destressed.
Ghald knew this would stop, the minut she remembered that Hadour had bitten Brian. The kindergarten leader shook her head. "It's actually a very common problem at that age" she said. "Hadour wanted the cars back, so he tried to grab them. When Brian wouldn't let go, he pushed him over. "
Ghald closed his eyes, this was really bad. Fighting was not something the kindergarten would overlook.
"Brian got opset and pushed back, when that didn't make Hadour give up the cars, he grabbed Hadours tail and bit down"
Ghald couldn't believe his ears. A human child bit his youngling?!
The human female looking embarrassed "Is poor Hadour ok?" She asked.
The kindergarten leader smiled. "Yes they are both fine. We separated them and had a talk with them both. It seems Brian wanted to play superhero cars and no one wanted to play that. So when he saw Hadour sit alone in the sandbox with the cars he tried to get him to play, only Hadour didn't understand, so Brian got angry"
The human female looked at Ghald " I'm so so sorry" she said. "Brian has been acting up since his father left and I just don't know what to do"
Ghald was speechless. Normally everyone just said that his youngling was at fault.
That his aggressive behaviour was the problem, so to have another parent apologize was something he had never experienced.
"well it's not as bad as all that" the kindergarten leader said with a smile.
"Brian was very sorry, once he realised that he hurt Hadour. He apologized and when Hadour learned why Brian wanted the cars, he was all for playing super hero cars.
The two of them have been playing all day and the best part is, that a lot of the other children has been keen to be part of the atventure"
Ghald almost felt dizzy. His youngling was in a fight, but it had been started by an other youngling AND that youngling had bitten Hadour as if it had been another hadal fighting for dominance. But humans were not predators were they?
On the way home Hadour told his father all about the day. After the fight Brian and Hadour was fast friends always playing and getting into trouble.
Soon after Ghald was "pressured" by the kindergarten leader to be on the parent council.
He learned that human kids and hadal younglings were in many ways very similar.
He contacted his honeworld; Telling them to let all hadal living off world know this. Soon hadal younglings all over the know universe signed up for human kindergartens and schools. Here they would be understood and find friends. It was a great relief to the hadal parents even if the younglings sometimes had bite marks on their tail.
