Now, THAT is massive cool.
Poor little dude, and these guys pulled it out of the pits for him. How it must make such a young kid feel to be ostracized like that. On his Birthday even.
And what's with the parents of all those other kids? Nobody out of 19 people would even try? That's just wrong. Well, this is truly heroic stuff. I find that title to be an overused one a lot these days, but I'll apply it in this one. These people turned a crushing blow to a little boy into a hand up and he went to bed that night smiling, not crying.
Doesn't get any better than that.
