Persia: Ms. Kirch, Leni is talking about me behind my back and I don't like it.
Me: Okay, this sounds like a good time for an "I statement". Let's go talk to her.
Persia: Leni, I felt mad when you... went all gangster on me.
Leni (who is an ELL): I do not know what "gangster" mean.
Persia: I didn't like it when you got all up on me.
Leni: When? I do not know when you are talking about.
Me: OKAY. Persia, it sounds like you need to let her know next time it happens. Leni, try to be nice to Persia. Now, let's all go back to work.
