|School Yard Bullies

Persian School Yard (circa 500BC)

"Hey, Beserk-seez! Whatcha got in your lunch? Nevermind, don't tell me. I'll just take it, cry-baby!"

"Give me back my lunch!!! And my mom says someday you'll wish you hadn't called me Beserk-seez!"

In 485BC, a small gang of bullies wished they'd been kinder to Xerxes, the new King of Persia.

That ran through my head this morning as I trudged up the steps to the car. I don't know why. I hadn't been reading or watching anything related to ancient Persia.
