Kindred,
Yesterday, I had this conversation with a ten year old kid.
The kid said, "I got only eleven Valentine's Day cards."
Silence.
"Out of thirty."
Hmm.
"When ____ passed by with candy, ___ skipped me."
Silence.
"On purpose, because I stopped ____ and asked."
I mumbled something here. What to say?
Maybe try, "Did you give ___ your Valentine's Day candy for her?"
The kid said, "Yes, I gave to everyone."
"Good," I said, "then you did not do anything wrong. ____ is the one being mean."
But the kid stopped listening, still too hurt to hear.
"What's the meaning of Valentine's Day? " I tried.
But the kid did not want to talk anymore.
Should Valentine's Day be about causing hurt feelings?
Should it be about using candy to be mean and bully?
