Thanks for the teasing- humor story, The story you listed reminds me of a scene in a movie called, "Voice in Exile", a short film- 28 minutes long made by Mark Kaplan for his school project while he was at USC film. school. It is an excellent film about a high school age boy trying to deal with his stuttering. The film I believe is not available for sale right now. ( The film was made in the 80's) Any way the scene that I am thinking of is about this boy who is being mocked because he stutters. The teaser is mimicking his speech and the boy replys by saying that he will have to give him stuttering lessons because he is not stuttering right. Well that reply took all the wind out of the teaser and he just left.

Reading the part of the big ears reminds me of story where a boy had big ears and was being teased for it. The next time someone teased him he said yea I have big ears but I can hear two miles away and the teaser was so impressed he went and told the other kids.
