My cousin once worked as a secretary at Brent’s elementary school. She would fill me in on how Brent behaved at school when I would come to pick him up in the evenings. One day, she told me Brent got in trouble for talking during silent lunch. As Brent and I were walking to the car, I thought I would check to see if he would be honest enough to tell me what happened. I said, “Brent, how was your day?”
“Okay,” he said.
“Did you get in trouble?”
“No…umm…let me think…Yes.”
“Well, what happened?”
“Umm, we were in the cafeteria and there were these kids at the far table near the stage. They were talking and being really loud and disrespectful...
and I was one of them.”
