We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Damn, that is crazy how early that shit starts sj. I can only imagine what the kid is being taught at home.

Thank you for all reacting that strongly because I wanted to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. I have already sent an email with the specifics to her teacher, who is absolutely lovely, so hopefully the situation will be dealt with.

He’s either 8 or 9. They’re in third grade. Technically I’m friends with the mom on FB, but I don’t know her well at all and don’t know how she’d react if I contacted her directly. So I’m going through the teacher.

Our wings are not tired.

Wow, SJ. I'm also filled with rage. I get that kids can be jerks, but letting the teacher know is appropriate.

Agree. The mom would be put on the defensive while the teacher should have more objective experience.

Fucksake. I am both furious and full of despair for humanity.

Punishingly Intricate

Ooh that makes me mad!!! I would be inclined to tell her to start a rumor that he pees his pants and encourage others to call him Pee Pants through high school. Which is probably why it’s good I didn’t have kids.
