Punk. That "sweetie-pie" thing is hilarious. Here is what you could have done: Looked around behind you as if you thought she may have been speaking to someone else. My friends and I were just commenting the other day about the things we call our students, like "sweetie, hon, darling." For me, those are used when I am not feeling purely that way toward a kid, but I say it to amp up my patience, or remind myself that I need to like the kid... It's hard to explain, but that woman at Starbucks may not have only had pure feelings of affection for you. Did you maybe hear some irritation and resentment along with her morning cheer? How dare someone honk at my friend! Punk.

It’s hard to explain, but that woman at Starbucks may not have only had pure feelings of affection for you. Did you maybe hear some irritation and resentment along with her morning cheer?

With drugs and peer pressure facing them on a daily basis, it's no wonder that mental illness and drug abuse is at an all time high. Problems facing American children.
