Fatso

An Honest Thought...


if all i teach my kids is empathy, then it will be a job well done.

i was out with my 6 year old daughter and one of her friends this summer. while having lunch nesya's friend said to me "you're fat". i was a bit shocked but i can handle it. my daughter on the other hand, i could tell felt very bad for me and said to her friend "that wasn't nice, you don't call someone that" to which her friend made a referance to "fatso". it was one of my proudest moments. no only to hear my daughter stand up for me, but more importantly understand that what was said was mean, hurtful and not nice. i realized then that we have raised a good girl. as a parent, that's all you can ask for. i love my kids.
