Now, I could be wrong. I just feel like so often people say things and they don't think them through. They don't think the kid is watching or listening or will understand or remember. I've never been a parent, but I have been a child - a disabled child at that - who cannot forget hurtful comments people make.Tonia Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406280143637741965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060372686205861977.post-79571724646742314072014-11-20T16:31:12.771-06:002014-11-20T16:31:12.771-06:00First of all, I do wonder whether she actually sai...First of all, I do wonder whether she actually said those things aloud to the cashier. They sound like the hard-ass comebacks people WISH they would have said in these situations. Second, the content of what she said was perfectly sarcastic and cutting to a woman who had said something very hurtful to her. The problem is saying them in front of her son. If she really said those things, that is awful, or at least ill-advised. Third, I totally agree she need not have backtracked and given the cashier an "out" for ignorance. Ignorance can excuse things said that are clearly not intended to be hurtful, but no reasonable adult, even an ill-informed one, could think that what the cashier said wouldn't be offensive and hurtful.apulranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133974049950425863noreply@blogger.com
