Apr. 26th, 2012 03:54 pmKids aren't subtle. Occasionally they're mean. So when we moved next to an elementary school, I wasn't looking forward to the 3 o'clock hour, and tried hard to be inside or outside.
Today I got back from the groceries, just as the kids let out. And sure enough, I got called out as they walked by our house.
"Daddy, I think that lady is a man."
Without skipping a beat, her father looked at her and said "So?"
"..."
And they walked on. I hope the lesson she learned was "Don't make fun of people who are 'different'" not "I need to make fun of people when daddy's not looking."
