Now, I am the proud mother of two boys who each have their very own Chinese Dwarf Hamster to make up for the one that was stolen from our school.
Eddie had it right when he said that the hardest lesson for John would be that not all people are nice. He's right. Ethan is still pretty innocent, but he seems to understand deep down that you can't assign your personal motives to others. John struggles with a more black and white understanding of the world and he is so deeply hurt when others are not as genuinely kind or honest as he tries to be. Ultimately, both boys have lost a piece of their innocence today.
There is nothing sadder than a jaded 10 year old. Except maybe a near-homicidal Mom!
