But how are we supposed to know where the line is?

I think everyone expects us to.

But how do we know?

I really hope my older brother's listening to this.

I want to latch on to what you said about having a high degree of social skills to know where the line is.

Maybe that's the crux of why teasing is not the best idea for young kids.

They haven't learned social skills yet.

They're just learning them.

They're kids after all.

The audience piece kind of fascinates me, too.

I used to do stand up comedy and one of my favorite gigs were the roasts when people would make fun of me and say mean stuff in front of audiences.

And it really heightened it.

Of course, it was done lovingly, whatever.

But like, yeah, I think that's another thing to be mindful.

Would you say a mean joke in front of 100 friends versus just privately?

Well, Naomi Andrews is a child and youth studies professor at Brock University.

Naomi, thank you for this chat.

It's been informative.

I appreciate you being on the show.

Chérie, tu viens courir ?
