Last week, I assigned Jing a New York Times article about sex offenders in a working-class neighborhood in Long Island. She had to speak her mind when she handed over her short written response. It was the hardest I’ve laughed all week.
Jing: I hate sex offenders! What do you think?
Me: Well, I don’t think anyone likes sex offenders.
Jing: I think that if they wanna offend someone, they should mess with each other. We’ll put ‘em all in one room.
Me: You mean, one sex offender should harass or assault another sex offender?
Jing: Yep. And then switch so they’re even.
