And I was like, Mom, I wasn't laughing.
I couldn't hear.
There were lights going on.
There were things happening all around me.
And my mother said, no, Brian, you know better than that.
And then she looked at me.
She said, now you go back over there and you tell that little boy you're sorry.
I said, okay.
And I took a step and my mom wasn't satisfied.
She grabbed me by the arm.
She said, wait, after you tell that little boy you're sorry, I want you to hug that little boy.
And I kind of rolled my eyes.
I said, okay, mom.
And I took a step and then she grabbed me by the arm again.
She said, wait, after you hug that little boy, I want you to tell that little boy you love him.
I said, mom, I can't go over there and tell that little boy I love him.
She gave me that look.
I said, all right.
I remember going over to that little boy saying, look, man, you know, well, I'm sorry.
And then I lunged at him and gave him my little boy version of a man hug.
