A Jerk
I just got called a “jerk” by my dear step daughter. A J-E-R-K, a Junior Educated Rich Kid, which is offensive on SO many levels I just can’t begin to describe them all. She didn’t know off course, she thought it was a compliment. Someone in her class had said it, and didn’t quite know what it meant. She got a stern talking to, to explain what it meant, and that it’s very rude on many levels, because of the implications of the analogy. The four words by themselves don’t mean anything bad, but stringed together like that…. I was basically called a substandard person who has had everything done for her, never had to do an honest dayss labour in her life due to having rich parents who can make calls and get her into whatever she wants to do, including pulling strings so that she got in to a school she normally wouldn’t have, had she not had those parents. It’s just wrong on so many levels… I told D never to call someone a “jerk” again.
