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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

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.

Dear ltc,

Please share with this rude child that looks are subjective and not one’s choice, but being a jerk is definitely a choice and he got it wrong. Ugly on the inside is worse, may he have the life he deserves with that behavior. Then laugh at him.

Imagine someone not wanting to be around you? YOU ARE AWESOME.

He probably eats dirt.
