Me: I'm nervous. I've never tutored children before Child: don't lick my lips again
Are you making a joke about sexualizing children?
Well what did you expect? It's a joke!
It is not a good idea to make a joke about a child being molested. This is a very terrible thing to happen to a child, and making light of it is not a good look in general.
It wasn't a big deal and I was only joking.
Children are molested and undergo harm on a regular basis. Jokes like these only serve to mock their trauma and belittle their experience. Next time try making a joke that won't remind people of terrible times in their lives.
