The other day my nearly 13-year-old son was walking to school and ran into a bunch of kids walking to the local charter school in the opposite direction. He had gone to grade school with some of them but hadn't seen them in years. A girl in the group said "Hi Dylan" and before he could say anything back she said "Loser."Dylan did the right thing. He didn't even remember what her name was. Why would someone he barely knew pass judgement on him? He was stunned, kept walking and didn't say anything.
I know I should take comfort knowing we've raised a nice kid. But I hate going back and re-living all that crap from middle school. Just wait until they all see who the losers become...
