I took my youngest to target the other day. my two year old daughter. she was dressed so cute and had received many compliments on how adorable she is. this makes her shy, but she is so much more confident now.
and then as we were walking hand in hand we passed another mother and her 4{ish?} year old son. he was crying & making a scene. as they approached us his mother said to him "look. see the pretty girl? she's going to stare at you. what will she think of you crying?"
I wanted to tell that mom that my daughter, my beautiful daughter that we are trying to adopt, is the most non-judgmental person you will ever meet... and that she doesn't stare when others are in pain.
she looks away. she always looks away. because she has experienced pain.
A pain I will never know...
so next time you want to shame your son... please don't use my daughter to do it.
