And at thirteen there's only so many places he could have learned it.
And school is one of them. That's part of the problem.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is this the wrong audience for saying that I feel for the bully too? I'm not excusing his behaviour in the slightest, because it was reprehensible, and he should be taught to realise the ramifications of his actions. But, in my experience, bullying tends to be a learned behaviour. And at thirteen there's only so many places he could have learned it.
While I agree some emotional sympathy might be due the bully, I'm more Mamma Bear when it comes to a child getting seriously, physically injured. I would hope that in addition to punishment, that the bully gets counseling on NOT being a bully. The odds are slim, though. And someone who breaks another kid's ankle at 13 is probably just going to grow up to do more damage later in life as an adult.
That's what scares me about situations like this.

That's a bit more merciful than I thought you were going for, Ginger. I've misjudged you.
Did I say how long he was going to be suspended by his thumbs? I'm thinking a couple of days.
Maria is so beautiful. Her DH is handsome. The flower girl is scene-stealing. The cakes are amazing.

This is what I mean.
And school is one of them. That's part of the problem.
And also this. Foisting all the blame on the kid isn't going to fix the problem. And that's probably what the school will try to do - expel the troublemaker and the problem goes away.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Those pictures are absolutely lovely Maria. I'm glad you had such a great and good day. (though pfft on you thinking you were being inappropriate).

I just got this e-mail in my role as a webmaster, from a person who had sent no previous e-mails:
Never mind, I found it, thanks.

I was trying to find the page where you had plans for an attic stairs cover. Is it still available?"
WTF?
