Wow, it's amazing how comfortable my kids are talking about their problems.
Student: Yeah my father died a couple days ago, Mr Tsai, how you doing today?
Me: Good, sorry to hear about your father.
Student: Thanks Mr Tsai, [merrily walks away].
Student: My brother got killed because gangs thought he was snitching.
Me: Wow really?! What happened?
Student: They thought he was snitching, they ganged up on him, and shot him once. He fell on the ground then shot him again while on the ground.
Me: Are you okay? How long ago was this?
Student: 2 years ago.
Me: You sad about it? I'd still be sad
Student: Yeah, I mean, I'm fine [perfectly fine, no remorse]
Me: (thinking, this is crazy)
