taxi driver

 i'm angry. as in, boiling over. like, raging.

mr smear went to a birthday party, and by his report things were awkward, but fine. i wasn't there because i was giving sailor a ride to the airport, but gd told me that a couple of other parents noticed that things weren't right; one of them told her that they'd ask their daughter for more information, the other that her son often comes home and reports that he tried to help mr smear, but couldn't.

so the "cherem", or "sanction", that his antagonist's bitch father threatened me about wasn't just a threat for a moment, but rather a long-term threat. which explains the laser tag incident, and why mr smear has been reluctant to go outside during breaks.

i get it now. and i'm furious. i really, really want to slap the shit out of both the parents and the child.

...

not only did i take sailor to the airport, but also mr smear's friend and her dad to the hospital - hairline fracture after falling off the monkey bars :(

otherwise, it's been a quiet afternoon and mr smear's been cool, both having accepted his punishment from earlierand in generally cooperating.

...

please god let us get mr smear into the art school 🙏
