Robby Hoffman

at the meeting.

So we're sitting like this.

You're the principal, we're sitting here.

It's just us and the principal.

And she's talking to us about our experience, whatever, whatever.

At this point, my brothers are still wearing yarmulkes.

This school was a private Jewish school, but not a religious school.

it was very like traditionally conservative Jewish, you know, like rich Jews that you're probably familiar with.

And that was my first foray into wealthy Jews.

Everybody I knew was poor and on food stamps and the whole bit, these big religious Jewish families that prayed to God and hoped for the best.

So this was my first, like, elite experience.

And my brothers got into a fight.

They're like, yeah, I don't know if they knocked a chair.

It got physical, there's no question.

Yeah, just little boys, yeah.

Yeah, and I kind of, you know, and my grandfather came in or something, and, you know, and the principal told them they had to leave.

You know, my grandfather was like...

And she said, I'll just speak to the girl alone.

I didn't do anything.

I sat there like this somehow, because I'm so used to them being animals.
