PROBITY
Lara rushed to the school after the call from the principal warning her that Molly faced school suspension for fighting. When she arrived, her daughter sat calmly outside of the office.
"Speak."
"Mary-Jo's been hassling Brenna for weeks. When I intervened, she got in my face and I told her to back off but then she grabbed my shirt."
"And?"
Molly shrugged, "She didn't let go and I punched her."
Appreciating her probity, Molly clearly defended a friend and herself. Additionally, Molly was taught never to start a fight, but damned-well better end it. The principal could suck it.
