Occasionally within the elementary world, the words "Juvenile" and "Hall" will sporadically pop-up in conversation. You might be roaming the hallways near the boy's bathroom and hear a second grade boy claim in a cutthroat, matter-of-fact manner"Yea, I've been to juvenile" or overhear a third grade girl make threats to have another girl "sent there" for some unjust act. Essentially, the mention of Juvenile Confinement is a rite-of-passage amongst the elementary students. It's the ultimate cart blanche' (or one-upper) of phrases and if you can claim to have been there - true or not - you have demonstrated yourself to be in the upper crust of survivors.
So far this week, I have had two occasions of Kindergartens (during a lesson on Kindness, no less) mentioning their own contrived experiences at "Juvie Jail". "Can you give the class any survival tips?" I want to ask.
