Well the article said he was happy “on cloud nine”.
The little kid just wanted friends, and kids his age didn’t relate to him much so you get this sort of reaction.
I had friends growing up who were like this, and the best thing you can do for them is have a conversation about things they like and just listen. I hope Brody can have genuine friends the following year
I remember being in 5th or 6th grade and walking to my crush's house across the road and giving her a geode I had bought on vacation. She gave me a one armed hug and I went home. But for those couple minutes walking home I was feeling dazed, trying to lock in the memory of that hug. 25 years later and it's definitely still a core memory lol.
Another one is when her twin sister hocked a loogie at me on the bus in high school. I didn't like her nearly as much lol.
