The backstory: I teach high school and there is almost no moment in high school as important as that day when a 17 year old secures a driver's license. Its power is validated when the newly minted driver has access to a car. Such realities were revealed when I overheard this conversation in the hall.
Student Y: Whose white mini van is parked in the student parking lot?
Student X: I don't know. Why?
Student Y: Because mini vans are pathetic. They are loser-mobiles.
Student X: Wait….do you have a car?
Student Y: (pause) No.
Student X: Who's the loser now?
Touche, Student X. Touche.
In high school, I spent some time behind the wheel of a white El Camino known as the Elk. So I'm not judging. I just report the facts.
HAHAHA! Perfect. I wish more kids would stand up for themselves and others like that. It's like turning the tables on a bully. lol
