Kids Can Be Really Cruel. Now My Kid Knows That.

Jul. 20, 2023
OUCH
Kids Can Be Really Cruel. Now My Kid Knows That.

One day, driving to Taekwondo class, Jocelyn Jane Cox's son asked her the meanest thing anybody had ever done to her. At first, she couldn't think of anything… and then she remembered the hate petition: "'Well, when I was about your age, a bunch of girls in my class signed a hate petition against me,' I tell him. 'It said: We all hate you. Then there were a bunch of lines for the signatures.' I laugh. It now sounds so cruel and formal to me that it's almost funny. 'Ouch,' he says."

Today, she's talking about what happened, and how the conversation about it went with her son, all those years later. It's really a lovely piece.
