Some boys in middle school were not very bright.
The way that they made fun of how Juan spoke English just wasn't right.
Juan could speak two languages whereas they spoke only one.
They should have walked a mile in his shoes before they poked fun.
In Juan's situation, they would have been very blue.
They would have felt like jackasses and very ignorant too.
