One So Much Crueler Than The Rest

Gerald fell down really hard.

You could hear his kneecap when it hit the pavement.

All the kids laughed.

I wasn't laughing.

I never had much of a sense of humor.

But...

I hated to be excluded from a good time.

So I joined.

And to prove I was in on it.

I laughed louder than

every 

body

combined.

God could not have laughed louder.

Gerald didn't weep at the cruelty of children.

Gerald wept at the cruelty of his best friend.
