It's almost like kids have to learn to be respectful and considerate of others, being an asshole from time to time comes naturally.
I think empathy develops late. Some kids have it earlier (Matilda does) but generally most kids don't have a sense of other kids suffering until they've suffered themselves. It's another kind of privilege in a way - because you don't see it. You take your status for granted and don't think about people being excluded.
I'm at the math conference now. I have coffee and a thing that calls itself a bagel. (It is not. It is a roll.) I've got one interview today and one tomorrow.
~ma, Hil! Sorry about the crap bagel!
Interview~ma Hil.
I'm in the waiting room. I don't think they gave me enough Valium.
Thinking of you, sj. It will be okay!
Lots of ~ma headed your way, sj.

I bet its even crap for a roll.
Hang in there, sj!
The procedure didn't work. I have to decide if I want to try it in the office or the hospital next month. If I took 3 Advil at 9:30, when can I take more?
