...at the end of an impassioned speech...

Mrs. B: ...and grown-ups, even though they shouldn't, sometimes forget what it is like to be a kid. They forget how embarrassing it is to get into trouble in front of your friends or that your feelings are the same as theirs. Grown-ups are human and can make mistakes, too.

(15 seconds of silence as this is absorbed, then...)

Jayden: You DO realize you are talking about yourself, don't you?

Mrs. B: (horrified) Do you think I'm mean to you?

Jayden: Noooo. But you are a grown-up, though.
