In preschool, a girl and I thought it would be funny to suck on our arms to give ourselves hickeys. Well by the end of the day, my mom and a teacher noticed the bruising and asked who did this to me. In a panic, I frantically looked around, spotted the only black kid on the playground swinging alone-someone I'd never even interacted with—and pointed at him, saying he bit me.
As we got in the car and drove away, I looked out the window and saw his single mother beating his ass in front of everyone.
