Do we need to give up our seat on the bus to little kids? Aren’t they young enough to handle standing on the bus? When I was a little kid, no one gave me their seat. Carrying bags of groceries in both hands, the only way I could hang on was with my teeth on a pole, while as usual, some guy’s briefcase kept bouncing off my head. I chipped a few teeth, and one time I was foaming at the mouth, so I had to get a tetanus shot with a rusty needle, which is okay because that’s what tetanus shots are for, anyway.
So should I give up my seat to a little kid? Asking for a friend.

Our parents kept us quiet with a brick to the head.
