“Oh. Okay.” “I promise I'll tell you all about it later, when Dad and Via come home.”
“I'll tell you all every detail. I just don't want to have to tell the whole story over and over, you know?”
“Absolutely.” I finished my sandwich in two more bites and gulped down the chocolate milk.
“Wow, you practically inhaled that sandwich. Do you want another one?” she said.
I shook my head and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.
“Mom? Am I always going to have to worry about jerks like that?” I asked.
“Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?”
She didn't answer right away, but took my plate and glass and put them in the sink and rinsed them with water.
“There are always going to be jerks in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me.
“But I really believe, and Daddy really believes, that there are more good people on this earth than bad people,”
“and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other.”
