” I  feel embarrassed. ” 

I tell her after we leave the train, walking to school.

” Who are you embarrassed for? ” 

” All of us as a society… that on a train full of adults, men and women, not one of them will give up their seat for a 6 year old child. I am embarrassed that this is what we are.”

Staring into their phones, listening to whatever, head’s down, zero accountability…
