OH HELL NO
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

This too shall pass.
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.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

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

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.

Good grief, sj. Where is an eight year-old kid hearing that kind of crap? I'm so sorry ltc and her friend were on the receiving end.
