I feel sorry for this kid. Kids are so brutal today. When he goes to school he will be made fun of mercilessly. It's a shame too, because really what is the big deal about it? Kids will pick out anything that makes you even remotely different and will badger and badger you.
As an example? Myself. I remember being made fun of for having a cowlick. Who has a cowlick????!!! Um.... almost everybody I know!! I was made fun of because I didn't know that in sixth grade all girls shave their legs (says the rulz. You know? those rulz girls make up for the heck of it and change because the wind blows?) Even after I started the mindless ritual, they never forgot and I only did it because they told me to. Which was unacceptable.
Ack. Don't get me started on this.
