Yes, it's amusing to laugh at a nazi like Miller because when he was 8 years old he did something weird. All 8-year-olds do weird stuff. I'm kind of amazed a teacher would talk like that about a former student. If you've never spread Elmer's Glue-All over a hand and peeled it off like skin when it dries, you've missed something cool. Eating it is another thing, but 8-year-olds are often oral little buggers.
