The younger me would have been chagrined to be compared to my dad, but now I'll own it. He and I do have a very similar sense of humor! In fact, I've caught myself saying things to my son that my dad has said to me.
I'm also glad that Ms. Diaz spoke to me. In my mind, she must have felt a lot like I felt when I heard Cub Scouts from another pack at camp one summer calling each other "gay." I knew this was something that I needed to turn into a teachable moment.
Harold was a bit horrifying, to be honest. I found a similar one on eBay of which I'm going to try to share an image below. My brother bought him in a gift store on a school trip to see a cave, and he adored him because he'd bought him with his own money, and the face was very malleable, meaning that my brother could make different expressions with it. Little boys, right? I'd imagine he was about the age my son is now.
