Because I Couldn't Make This Stuff Up

The other day we were talking about the annual All Saints celebration at A's school. Instead of dressing up in "traditional" Halloween costumes, each kid chooses a saint, researches him/her, then dresses like that saint for Mass and a "treat walk." A will be St. Patrick this year. I've made a rather kick-a** costume. I digress. A was telling J that when she gets to kindergarten, she will have to choose a saint to be.

A: You'll have to be a GIRL saint.
J: Like Sleeping Beauty?

A's teacher has instituted a new system for charting their behavior and schoolwork each day. It's essentially a calendar, and they color the day according to how they did that day. Green for "good," yellow for a "warning," and red for "better luck tomorrow." I asked A who determines what color they get each day, and he said that the students decide. What happens, then, if the teacher disagrees?

A: What do you mean?
me: Like, what happens if you think you had a "green" day, but Mrs. K thinks you had a "red" day?
A: Well, I, uh, think we do "rock, paper, scissors" or somethin'.
