That's a Bad Day At School

Stabbed in the heart with a hair pick.

How do you explain that to your own kids?

I'm not one to throw stones. At 14 I was in a fight with two girls who knew better what they were doing and I have a permanent lump on my head. But I didn't have a risk of heart infection.

And uh, for the record, we were also fighting over a boy.


But what's worse? At my alma mater, Washington, they just experienced the fourth attack on a teacher.

It was the teachers at Washington who taught me that when two students are fighting, you don't get involved. The best thing to do in that situation is to get out of the way. Knowledge that has served me well. For real, just get out of the way.
