overheard on 103rd

Mom to 5-year-old:

"Xavier don't be a fucking bully! Bullies get hurt and bullies die and bullies go to jail. You aren't going to be no fucking bully. You're going to get good grades and a job!"

It's only funny if you've never visited my neighborhood.

Well, sure, and I was charmed by that aspect of it. But my zipcode also has the percentage of its male residents incarcerated in the whole city, which made it really frigging sad.
