The paper was too white. It glared up at her like an accusation.
Dayton sat at her desk, the wood still dented where she’d pressed her Guardian certification manual for hours every night last semester. A single lined sheet sat in front of her. Nothing else. Not even the claim forms or the packet she’d half-assembled and buried beneath the legal handbook at the edge of her bed. Just the page. Just the pen. And the weight of her mother’s voice echoing in her head.
A letter. One page. Handwritten. You tell me why you want him, and what you’ll do if he never obeys you.
Outside, the dusk was settling into full dark, and the sky beyond her window had slipped from lavender to navy. Her room, dim except for the glow of her desk lamp, felt smaller than usual. Or maybe she just felt too big in it. Like her ambition had outgrown the walls. Like there wasn’t enough air.
She took the pen, gripped it, then set it back down.
It wasn’t supposed to be this hard. She knew why she wanted him. She’d felt it—every word, every glare, every smirk Mr. Rhys gave her, as though he were humoring her rather than respecting her authority. Like she was just another student in a school where he had the illusion of control. A Little pretending to be a man. A four-inch nothing perched on the edge of a pencil case, giving instructions with his squeaky voice and neat slacks and the utter delusion that he still mattered.
Dayton exhaled sharply through her nose and leaned back in her chair.
It wasn’t about hatred. It wasn’t even about anger.
It was about correction.
Mr. Rhys needed to be corrected.
Her fingers tightened around the pen again.
She began to write.
To the Smallara Enforcement Agency Regional Claims Panel and District Little Oversight Committee,
I am submitting this letter in support of my formal ownership claim for the unclaimed Little currently operating under the name “Mr. Ezra J. Rhys” at Roosevelt Middle School, New York.
My name is Dayton Harris, age thirteen, Certified Junior Guardian (Generitech Training Cohort NY–1437, top-ranked), in full compliance with federal and state Guardian eligibility requirements. I understand the legal, financial, and ethical responsibilities associated with claiming a Little, particularly one who is already integrated into an institutional setting.
This is not a casual claim. It is not impulsive. I am not filing because I think it would be “fun,” or because I want a cute companion, or because I want praise from my peers. I am filing because I believe that Mr. Rhys represents a danger to himself and a distortion of what is real. I believe the current district arrangement is noncompliant and unstable. I believe I can help. I believe I should help.
Let me explain.
Mr. Rhys is not an ordinary Little. He functions in a professional environment, which on its surface might suggest competence and stability. In fact, he has fooled many, including the administration, into believing he can be self-sufficient. But beneath that illusion is a more troubling reality:
- He currently teaches full-sized students while uncollared and unclaimed.
- He resides in on-campus “district housing” without a registered Guardian, relying instead on a student teacher for ad-hoc assistance.
- He interacts with full-sized humans as though he were still equal in status, not Homo parvus under federal classification.
- He regularly issues commands to minors, refuses proper forms of address for certified Guardians, and rejects any acknowledgement of hierarchy.
I have witnessed this firsthand in his classroom over multiple days. He has directly refused my request to be addressed as “Miss Harris” in front of my peers, despite my Guardian certification and his own legal status as a Little. He has repeatedly used me as a physical extension of his body for tasks he cannot perform, passing materials, writing on the board, managing the room, while simultaneously denying the authority that certification grants me. The result is that he models noncompliance and confusion to an entire cohort of students who are still forming their understanding of Littles.
This is not harmless eccentricity. It is a public performance of denial.
Science and law support this. Littles are biologically altered and legally reclassified as Homo parvus. They are neurologically distinct, with decreased long term independence viability, increased dependency ratios, and recognized needs for structure, supervision, and ownership. They are not recognized as autonomous citizens under current federal code. An uncollared Little teaching minors, moving through a school building without a Guardian or ID tag, is not just unusual. It is a systemic failure.
That Mr. Rhys has lasted this long is not evidence of capability. It is evidence of a loophole.
He is vulnerable. He is unstructured. And he is completely, catastrophically, unowned.
I would change that.
Under my care, Mr. Rhys would have routine, structure, and purpose. He would not be left in a hallway habitat no one is truly accountable for. He would:
- Be housed in a secure, climate-controlled enclosure within my bedroom, in a home already equipped with Little-appropriate supplies from my training period.
- Follow a predictable daily schedule with set feeding times, enrichment activities (reading, supervised access to literature), rest periods, and social interaction.
- Be monitored regularly for psychological stress using the assessment tools I was trained to apply in my Guardian modules.
- Attend school only under my supervision and only if the district, SEA, and my mother agree that limited educational involvement is in his best interest and compliant with policy.
He would be given clear behavioral expectations. He would wear a collar not to demean him, but to protect him, because a collared Little is a claimed Little, and a claimed Little is a safe one. His collar would be properly tagged with his legal name, my name, and our registered address, as required. Tracking and recall functions would remain enabled at all times.
I understand that I am young. Federal law sets the minimum age for Guardianship at twelve; I have exceeded that and have completed not only the standard modules, but advanced coursework in:
- Little safety and emergency protocols
- Basic Little psychology and adjustment patterns
- Handling resistant or noncompliant Littles without physical harm
- Long-term care planning, housing, and enrichment
My home has been inspected and cleared previously during my training with my trial Little. I am accustomed to daily feeding, habitat maintenance, bedding changes, and hygiene tasks. I am prepared to submit to additional inspections, submit weekly video documentation of his environment, and comply with any reporting schedule the Agency and district deem appropriate.
I am not filing this claim to punish Mr. Rhys. I am filing it to liberate him: from confusion, from delusion, and from the dangerous freedom he thinks is still his. Right now, he walks through our world with confidence but without understanding. He occupies a role he no longer legally holds and presents himself to children as something he is not. I will give him understanding. Through patience. Through training. Through ownership.
If he resists, I will persevere.
If he fights, I will not strike him. I will outlast him.
If he cries, I will not coddle. I will calm.
If he obeys, I will reward.
If he never obeys, I will not give up.
He is not a man under the law. He is a Little. He needs someone strong enough to remind him of that every day until it becomes truth for him the way it is already truth for everyone else. I believe I am that person.
I recognize that many Guardians prefer compliant, eager Littles who will follow easily. If you disagree with my claim and wish to assign him to someone gentler, or older, or more forgiving, then I ask you to consider this: most Guardians want Littles who will follow.
I am prepared to guide one who will not.
Respectfully,
Dayton Harris
Certified Junior Guardian, Generitech NY–1437
Roosevelt Middle School, New York City
Her pen left the paper.
She stared at it.
The ink gleamed under the desk lamp, black and final. She didn’t revise. She didn’t cross anything out.
It was honest.
It was precise.
It was hers.
She placed the letter atop the claim packet, slipped the entire bundle into a clean folder, and held it for a moment, the weight of the decision now materialized between two sheets of cardstock.
Her stomach fluttered.
Not with nerves.
With anticipation.
Outside her window, a streetlight flicked on.
And downstairs, the low murmur of the news gave way to silence. Her mother had muted it.
Dayton stood slowly, folder in hand, and walked toward the stairs.
Tomorrow, she would submit it.
Tomorrow, her mother would read it.
And soon, very soon, Mr. Rhys would belong to her.
Not out of cruelty.
Not out of revenge.
But out of truth.
He was lost.
She would teach him what it meant to be found.

My theory is this. I don’t think Dayton ends up with Mr. Rhys as her little. I do think she does get a little not through Generitech or her mother, Chloe, or Sara, but she ends up with a Preema Tech little through her own means. It may not be the little she wants, but the little she needs to learn what it means to be a guardian.
I would agree with your stance that at some point Dayton is bound to get a little jsut because of the resources available ot her and her family. Just like Ellie is bound to get a little eventually. She has access to enough money to afford one even if she has to wait a bit.
it would be hard to imagine them not having one in their lifetimes if they truly wanted one.
I still think Dayton’s mom becoming her little like Cindy and Madison sounds like fun karma lol.
I’m still hoping
SatanDayton does something stupid and loses her license.Can you release step monster post just one post that all am asking.
“Hello Miss Harris,
We regret to inform you that this is part of the New York State’s Little Teaching Program. Despite being unclaimed by an official Guardian, Mr. Rhys is property of the Roosevelt School District and will remain as such. We do appreciate your concern and, as a consolation, are willing to allow you to be a guardian of his during school so long as it doesn’t disrupt his authority as a teacher.
Best Wishes,
Justin H. Tavors
Committee Head Chairman
Smallara Enforcement Agency Regional Claims Panel and District Little Oversight Committee”
boom lol
lol just for your own awareness those are two differnt agencies. SEA is a federal agency ran by the US government. District little oversight committee is the new york city school districts commitee which overseas and runs little operations education and programming found in new york.
They would be the same one who Cindy wessen of Madison’s world works with on implementing little education programs into the class room and such.
But i do like the letter ii more am just mentioning the above for your own interests and knoweldge as some may find it interesting.
We would certainly see daytons resolve if that is the feedback she gets.
oh haha yeah totally thought it was just one group.
it’d be so freaking funny if she got this kind of response and like a sticker or a denim patch for a jacket or something. like such a massive slap to the face in terms of condescension
All this reminds me of nazi Germany … putting people into races and on genetic classes 🙁 nobody has chosen to be tiny and there IQ is still the same so they should be worth the same level as a „normal“ person imo. They should still got human rights and jobs like teacher is still able to do because it’s not a matter of size. And why can’t a tiny don’t be useful with build small parts for machines or so 🙂 but hey Dayton is blond with blue eyes so very aryan and she act like one 🙁 this story makes me sad 😔
Tinys could do alot of things but the world and society isnt accepting of that. Just like how we have countless examples throughout history across a plethora of cultures. All of which remove the rights and abilities of others arbitrarily.
why where american slaves treated as 3/5’s a person? Because it came down to population counts and how political seats in congress and senate were determined.
its not a great reason to lesson someones humanity for but its what happened. This is just 1 example.
No one is saying they shouldnt get human rights but a culture a race, nation etc. historically aren’t just automatically afforded that as history as proved.
This story depicts that for narrative reasons. I understand why its not everyones cup of tea but its a narrative mechanic the entire universe is built around. To remove it would would end the universe.
As it’s a core defining principle of what makes up the world in which all narrative plot points are built around.
True but those regimes are all gone because they’re built to be failed one day and these dystopian world like 1984 will end one day and the littles will raise again … I also miss some freedom fighters one the little side maybe some attorneys or politicians who fight for there rights and equality. I read the whole story in just a few days now and it started so harmless and innocent and it’s getting more and more obscure and bizarre:( I of course understand that this universe is build around the fact that little people have to follow orders and obey the big ones but try to make it a bit more harmless 🙂 like at the beginning of the story where Jordan got used as a doll or put into a hamsterball 🙂 and let this search for revenge and hatred a little bit aside 🙂 Alldaysituations are scary enough when you’re tiny 🙂
Nearly every civilization is built to fail one day. I don’t understand your point. Great civilizations have fallen, and bad civilizations have fallen.
We saw Rome fall, which set the entire world back hundreds of years. We went into a literal dark age, and it took many people’s lifetimes to regain any level of what was lost, and some things were lost forever.
When you look at civilizations as they exist today most of them have fallen and/or fell and rebuilt themselves sometimes under the same name or different.
A good humber historically speaking haven’t been around that long to really have a huge opinion on.
True most civilization fall because they get decadent like our real world at the moment but the universe you’ve created it’s all about might .. and when you want to hit a darkage where are the blackmarkets where you can illegal buy a tiny for your own pleasure especially when you’re a single woman or rich people who by some for her daughter to have a talking doll all without registration so no one will ever ask if a tiny gets „broken“ anyway it’s your story and I don’t want to interrupt or talk bad about it I just don’t like the fact that this world is bad and went in a dark direction since you’ve started it.
I think in context of the little universe, I can see a law saying every little needs a guardian because they will be in constant danger, I am not into most of the other stuff but I would just worry about their safety and the safety of a human that could kill a little on accident and the trauma that would cause. chole led generitech system is the best anyone could hope for.
love the star wars name. fan of non Disney star wars since it came out in 1977 when I was in 2nd grade and still have some of my original star wars stuff lol.
There no way this little gets taken seriously im sorry there’s just no way at that point just get a preema tech little like I refuse to believe this will make it past the first read from high ups
i first thoguht you meant Mr. Rhys doesnt get taken seriously.
Sorry it meant to say little note lol but yeah I can’t take this note seriously at least from my pov
I understand that especially with your belief structure and views.
The letter is designed around something that woudl be compelling specifically to people of that world. As they have zero outside knowledge of other systems.
Its similar to people saying democracy is the greatest government on earth. That may be true but only because we dont know of or have thought of something better.
If some alien race has a better government they could look at us culturally unrefined, lesser civilized, etc. The way readers could view the people in the smallara universe.
As the people within a world only can know what there own expierences are the moraliteis of a given world are based on learned expierences. So each world would in theory have its own morality of right or wrong.
So the information i use in generally closed off from our own world. So when i wrote the letter its strictly as someone would view it from that world with knowledge of any views, ideas, morals, etc. from our own world .
So while when i look it at externally i don’t view the argument as compelling as I don’t agree with the stripping of someones citzenships or rights for the reason of shrinking.
However, when i remove myself from that prejuduice as its not fair to me to hold another culture to my views, or the views of my culture, race country, etc. and I look it through the view of someone with only learned expierence and soceital and cultural knowlege someone would have in this world I could see where it would be compelling.
I feel that if I was a member of the SEA and reading this letter, I would see red flags based on what she says this request is NOT about. Also after an investigation (assuming the SEA is not aware), there would need to be an evaluation as to what would be an appropriate disposition for Rhys (I assume this would be normal as well, they would not just assign him to Dayton because she wrote a letter).
Dayton should realize that it is highly possible that Rhys (if he is not allowed to continue as he is) would enter the “system” and her chances of becoming his guardian are not assured, but she would probably at least feel vindicated in his removal.
I thought who ever clamed a little first got first dibs . I thought I saw that in a few chapters.
I think they have to give a fair chance to immediate family to claim a little that shrank from smallara, like 72 hours
your right, I wasn’t sure so I didn’t add it lol.
0) Law drop chapter, nice
1) “Her room, dim except for the glow of her desk lamp, felt smaller than usual. Or maybe she just felt too big in it” she is too big, maybe she should be like 4-5 inches
2) “A Little pretending to be a man” those two things are not mutually exclusive.
3) “It wasn’t about hatred. It wasn’t even about anger. It was about correction. Mr Rhys needed to be corrected.” It’s about control and the fact that you don’t feel satisfied where you are currently.
4) “Mr. Ezra J. Rhys” what does the J Stand for?
5) “This is not a casual claim. It is not impulsive. I am not filing because I think it would be ‘fun,’ or because I want a cute companion, or because I want praise from my peers” No, it’s because you’re insecurity won’t let him teach you, the same way some students don’t want to learn from people of a different ethnicity or gender than themselves.
6) “I am filing because I believe that Mr. Rhys represents a danger to himself and a distortion of what is real. I believe the current district arrangement is noncompliant and unstable. I believe I can help. I believe I should help. “ I really hope the response she gets is
“Mr Rhys is currently not available for claiming. While we appreciate your concern for his safety, the school district is managing his system in a completely compliant way, and has consulted with us to ensure
7.1) “refuses proper forms of address for certified Guardians” There is no official form of address for guardians; Ms Harris, Ms Wessen, and Ms Bak are purely ego-driven bullshit.
7.2) “and rejects any acknowledgement of hierarchy” The hierarchy in the classroom is teacher on top, student below, and you’re the one having trouble with it.
8) “I have witnessed this firsthand in his classroom over multiple days” was there a timeskip?
9) “denying the authority that certification grants me.” The only authority a guardian Licence grants someone is over their own Little, not over everylittle in existence, which a high-ranked guardian should know.
10) “That Mr. Rhys has lasted this long is not evidence of capability. It is evidence of a loophole” Legal loopholes are still legal.
11) “He would wear a collar not to demean him, but to protect him, because a collared Little is a claimed Little, and a claimed Little is a safe one.” this is the only point I think Dayton has here, but the School could get him a collar, just like I’m sure Genricare got Lisa one.
12.1) “I am not filing this claim to punish Mr. Rhys.” yes you are.
12.2) “I am filing it to liberate him: from confusion, from delusion, and from the dangerous freedom he thinks is still his” no, yu want to fel like you’re in control
13) “If he fights, I will not strike him. I will outlast him” Bullshit, you can’t convince me Dayton doesn’t practice the Little flick when noone’s looking
14) “Most Guardians want Littles who will follow. I am prepared to guide one who will not.” Dayton wants a follower too; she just wants to break him first.
15) “It was honest.” nope, lol
16) “And soon, very soon, Mr. Rhys would belong to her. Not out of cruelty. Not out of revenge. But out of truth. He was lost.” It is too revengeful and cruel, you little Cunt
17) Citing Cindy Wesson, not actually surprising from Dayton.
18) “Role Confusion: Littles in Positions of Authority Over Minors.” This has happend before and Cindy reported on it?
19) Part of me wonders how Dayton would react if she already had a Little, I think she’d still be against him teaching, but I doubt she’d wanna claim him.
3) Most bad events and people’s root cause is for power & control
0) i just got done answering your other comment for hte last episode. When i posted i saw you had this set posted.
1) thats why we have little dayton series by lethal.
2) You are right about that
3) While control does factor in here. Im not going to dismiss that. To thats wholly why she si doing it would be disingenious. She does legitimately feel its a violation of the rules, structure and heirarchy of established order and the law. If she can also get a little out of it that is a bonus. But she does legitimately think its wrong.
4) James, I always think james is a good professional sounding middle name It sounds intellectual name.
5) well the core issue is him being a little and teaching, and then equal parts she doesnt think the district setup of all this is legal.
if you want to know the truth about dayton. If he had called her Ms. Harris on the first day she would have never taken it this far. She only looked into things further, researched thesituation, poked around more because of his unwillingness to acknowledge her achievements and even if they were minor to him its something she worked hard for and put effort into and he dismissed it like it was nothing. Since he is her teacher she wanted that acknowledgement for her efforts just like he expects acknowlegement and recognition for his.
Now she still wouldn’t have liked him being a little teaching but it wouuld have never gon beyond the classroom. So all of this is on Mr. Rhys. He set all of this in motion by his actions. Which I still hold are petty as he calls her Ms Harris in every other situation just not to her face which is petty.
Im not saying dayton is innocent of sin or has never done anything wrong or is on the right side of every issue. But just because Mr. Rhys is a little doesnt mean he is the victim or in the right in every situation and just becasue littles are generally given the short end of the stick. Doesn’t condone his actions towards Dayton.
Especially as a teacher when you should be teaching and being an example of not meeting violence with violence. Not being mean or petty to those who are mean or petty to you as it just creates a circle of hate and negativity that would go on endless. Sometimes you need to just be mature person and be the change you are wanting to see and he failed that as an educator he failed in that moment on that day and created a shit storm.
6) Well she is writing the district and SEA which are two seperate agencies and that probably is districts response to her letter or something in that tone and regard. If SEA chooses to investigate the claim, they will not accept that answer. As SEA would come down with the full might of US Government and they would have to provide real detailed answers before federal officials that prove they are 100% compliant and any refusal to provide evidence is terms for immediate incarceration and you will be jailed until the US government gets around to hearing your side of this story in this issue which coudl be days, months, weeks or years.
Assuming they would comply and not be dumb. They would need to provide full detailed response itemized and written out in full granular detail down to the bolts and screws sued are compliantand OSHA workforce was used because its the government, with evidence and proof that every step and legal requirement is not only in place, but was in place from the moment they employed and or acquired him, and put him in the classroom and allowed him to teach. Along with proving his employment, job, are legal and fall within us Law and all the checks and balances do as well. If they cannot they are in violation of Federal Law and the full might of SEA would come down upon them which could include a complete freeze of the entire districts assets and stop to teaching and employment of all schools across the state of new york while SEA fully investigates all operations and brings anyone that has any part of the violation depending on their actions or part to either Trial, fined, removal of licensure, in addition to whatever penalties they would deem necessary to the entirety of the district as an organization.
The remaining district employees would need to come up with a plan that would satsify SEA and the US government that would ensure compliance of all federal US laws and provide a teaching curriculum that is compliant with the beliefs of the US Government
7)Well yes and no. Being its an actual professional and legal license it would legally open up the ability to request to be addressed professionally based on your certifications and licenses held. Similar to if you have a doctorate and you want to be called Dr. so and so.
7.2) Well, that is the core issue of what the district has potentially done. A guardian would be above a little hierarchall speaking, as they are licensed and trained to provide care, support, etc. So it does open a potential heirarchal nightmare. Due to the teacher being head of the class but also being in a situation where they are beneath guardians.
8) Well she is writing the later, has to show it to her mom and get permission to even send it which is day 2. Then shehas to send it via the mail, it has to reach SEA adn district offices which is multiple days. They then have to read it adn take some kind fo action, which would be a unknown number of days to 1 to weeks to months. So it would be multiple days to weeks of violations. Based on what she is reporting there is no reasonable reason to believe anything would change as the party she is accusing has no reason to believe they are wrong and if they do action then that only proves she was right which would be a admission of guilt on there part which would also look bad and could end up bad for them. As that would be as an agecny admitting you violated federal law potentially.
9) there would be a degree of authority it would grant you in that you know legalities and such. Kind of like if you have a medical license and are providing care you are held to a higher standard in a situation inw hich you are providing said care as opposed to Joe Plumber on teh street who is just trying to help someone who fell over and is having a heart attack.
So while they dont explicitily have a im in charge of your little as well just because im a guardian. In a situaiton they are asked to work or support a little they are expected to use knowledge, skills, and reporting tools and such as they have received training and are liscened granted by the US government for care of littles. Which is what is being talked about here in not so many words.
As he did ask dayton to support her in his class which can be taken as her as a guardian supporting a little. Which once again the district opened itself upto by allowing a teacher who is a little to teach. Opens up the opportuntiy for illegalties to occur or complications as while it could also be argued he as a teacher is asking his student to do something. The titles, professional training do matter and cannot be overlooked as she would be required to provide care upto her trained standards or daytons license could be removed if she was found to be purposefully harmful, especially in a public setting such as this.
the likelihood of that happening doesnt erase the legal issue that is created by that action.Would be a inferred point of daytons argument..
10) That is true. The problem with loopholes is once you find one you have to make sure everything else is perfect, as they will fine tooth comb everything else for any infraction to get you.
11) They could get him a collar, but if they knowingly allowed their little to operate without a collar in public settings, teaching vulnerable children. Getting one after the fact would not erase the crime. If he’s teaching through proxy of someoe else that person would be in trouble for not having him collared the district would stil be in trouble for allowing a uncollared little to operate in violation of the law. The entire schools federal funding could be potentially pulled for law violation. As the collaring law is legal us law with no wiggle room. Thats why Kayla had to collar kelli. There is zero tolerance after that date and there only excuse the government is willing to accept is your own negligence and complete admittance of guilt and acceptance of the legal punishment being handed down for guilt and violation of US federal law.
12) I agree with dayton on this specific line as she’s not filing it to punish him, but she is aware it’s a byproduct of her filing this, which, if it ends up punishing him, she will not lose sleep over.
13) SHe does know the little flick. She could use the little flick within the confines of situations in which he isn’t fighting her, it’s just a disciplinary repercussion for an agreed-upon and pre-informed punishment.
It’d be one of those legal loopholes you mentioned prior. Just not in Mr. Rhys favor this time.
14) A person could read her statement take that as her intended meaning.
15) I knew you were gonna say that. i dont think dayton could do anything that would have changed your mind.
16) I mean he poked the bear.
17) real talk. If i was in this world and trying to convince the government of something i would too. As it would be more effective to use sources they view as credible to prove my point. Cindy would be a trusted and credible source to them.
18) You know cindys busy body ass would be all over that.
19) Probably similar to if he had just called her Ms. Harris from the start. She would be annoyed with him teaching but it wouldnt go anywhere. As she would have just put up with it.
1) It’s a good series, I he posts more
3) Dayton’s hardly one to complain about others breaking the rules, but I was more referring to the fact that she wanted a Little and didn’t have one.
4) Same middle name as Sara.
5) I firmly believe that if he called her Ms Harris that would have still caused him other issues in the near future, This wasn’t just a kid trying to push their neopronouns on him, this was her trying to establish herself on an equal or higher level of authority to him, had he complied she’d likely have pushed boundaries further in the future, potentially inspiring other children to do the same, not just the other guardians. So Damned if he does damned if he doesn’t. But she was already plotting against him before her denied her request.
He did acknowledge her achievement, called in “impressive”, but also let her know that it wouldn’t change anything between them. I don’t think that’s dismissing it like it’s nothing. We also see that Kinsley doesn’t have to call her Ms Harris so it’s not even something she does with all Littles, she singled him out, just like Mal did with Jordan.
I agree calling her Ms Harris behind her back was petty, and he shouldn’t have done that.
I know not all Littles are always right, but I don’t think Mr Rhys did anything wrong in his actions towards Dayton (save granting her request behind her back) I doubt any teacher would begin referring to their students as “Ms/Mr surname” just because they asked, In this world or the real one.
I doubt compliance would have avoided shit storms, just gotten him a different one.
6) That was meant to be the SEA response, they’d have run the investigation, (but already had most of the information as they were consulted from day one), found no issue and are sending Dayton reassurance that it’s all legal, though not sharing Mr Rhys’s private business with her, not the districts response. But I appreciate the Info about the investigation.
7.1) I have a forklift licence, since high school, I highly doubt I could have demanded my teachers call me “Mr Ledgend” .
7.2) Guardians are only above their own Littles not any little they happen to see. Dayton couldn’t walk into to Chrissy’s house and demand Scotty clean her shoes for her now, could she?
8) So no?
9) But no one’s asking her to be a guardian to him, or provide guardian-like care (though Cassie may be a different story), the requests he’s made of Dayton are normal for a teacher to make of their student, things I’d’ve done dozens of times growing up. Although Dayton is trying to blur that line for her own benefit, it makes sense.
10) Fingers crossed then
11) Don’t guardians have a month or so to get their Little collared after purchase? Surely a business would also have a similar grace period, and he’s only been there a week at most.
12) But you said she wouldn’t do it if he called her Ms Harris, which makes this a punishment for not calling her Ms Harris.
13) Figures she’d do the same thing she has an issue with him doing.
15) At this point, the bridge is thoroughly burned.
16) Saying that is the equivalent of telling someone, “if you’d just accepted when she asked you on a date, she wouldn’t have reacted so violently to your rejection. So it’s your fault she hit you”
17) That makes sense.
18) I’ll take that as a yes.
19) So this really is all about him making her feel small.
2) Technically she may be correct. If you interpret “man” to refer to a human being (homo sapien). Not sure if “man” would be the correct term for an adult Home Parvus.
Will the relanship between family member and friends over the years and by others different countries change how people see the tiny person like Kayla and Kelli how long before there live turn up side dawn ?
my opinion it will change but there will still be love but Kayla I think as she gets older and spends more time with Sara will throw her weight around to get Kelli to respect and listen to her but also Kayla has to step up her guardianship to get up onetime to make sure Kelli is fed, has water and has be socialized. Great power comes great responsibility like spiderman lol.
Can you release step monster post just one post that all am asking.
