Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So basically; this kid got expelled today at my school, and some rumors are going around that it’s drugs. I told my parents this on our way home from school, and about an hour later, on our wau to a film, my dad made a joke about drugs and I responded with another joke about drugs. He told me, “Oh you better not do drugs or you’ll end up getting expelled” (or something along those lines) and I told him not to joke about that, because I knew the kid and he was nice. He said that he wasn’t talking about that, and if the kid had an addiction he deserved to be expelled, so I told him he shouldn’t assume that the kid was addicted to anything. He then said that I was “being rude” and “using him as the family punching bag” and now we’re going home without going to the movies. Am I in the wrong here? I think he's the asshole for joking about the kid, he got arrested and stuff so I'm frustrated. Anyways, yeah, am I the asshole in this situation?
