  1. My friend is an elementary school librarian. She had the following conversation with an 8-year old.

    8 year old: Did you know you should not say the N-word?
    Friend: Oh! Um..well…yes. You should not say the N-word.
    8 year old: Do you know what the N-word is?
    Friend: Well um..yes.
    8 year old: What is it then?
    Friend: I…er..well..it’s..um..
    8 year old: It’s NEVER! You should never say never!
