Early Lessons in Racism, Part 2
So here’s how the story ended:
When my teacher tried to force the black hamster on me, I cried. So she relented, mostly because I was making her extremely uncomfortable, and let me have a beige one.
It died two days later.
Pretty sure the black one is still alive.
Yeah that’s mold.
This is the sink we wash our hands in in the “staff bathroom.”*
*ESL classroom that happens to have a toilet in it.
It’s Grim In Here

Kid: “Why do we have to learn this?”
Me: “Because I’m going to Active Mind’s Casino Night tonight, and I’ll be too tired to teach you a damn thing tomorrow. Anyway, wanna donate? Here’s the link: Active Minds. Tell your parents! Seriously. That’s your homework. To donate. No, this is not a conflict of interest. Shhhhhh.”
