Being told as a 12 year old, about to go to their first Junior High School dance: "I hope the Rapture doesn't happen while you're there." Looking back, I realize the cruelty of this statement.
That hurts a 12-year-old in a way that is not easily overcome, if ever.  I understand.  There's nothing quite like being 12 and being humiliated and pointed out as "different" from all the other 12-year-olds!  Pentes seem to take great pleasure in inflicting that kind of pain.....


Sounds pretty manipulative.
