And day #2 of “Michael is a jerk.” Yesterday, he was mouthing off to his sister about how much better he is than she, and now he’s all ready to make fun of Lawrence for bringing his own pillow to a sleepover, the one occasion when you actually do want to bring a pillow to someone else’s house. Pointing out a kid who brought his own pillow implies that the other kids did not do this, and it is perilously close to pointing that Lawrence’s family is better off than the other kids’. Fortunately for Michael, Lawrence is a good enough friend to brush him off when he is being a jerk.
