Teddy Bear Group

Your class at school is divided into 3 groups: Red Spiders, Tigers, and Peacocks. You are in the Red Spiders group...though you don't admit to this fact. When the name was chosen, you were not very interested in it. You told me that you were instead thinking about teddy bears and flowers. When I ask you if you are in the Red Spider group, you tell me that you are not; you are in the Teddy Bear group. Apparently the Teddy Bear group is a group of 1. You just go along with teacher Hazel when she asks for the Red Spiders to join her. Some might call this a bit delusional, but I think this is a great, creative coping mechanism!
