self esteem crushed by little brat....

OMG, You wouldn't believe what some kid said to me! I have to preface this by saying that I live in fear of hearing comments about my weight, although I really haven't had it happen very much. I teach high school, and to their credit I have NEVER heard one single kid in that school say anything rude (not where I could hear it, anyway!) But yesterday I picked up my daughter from daycare, and this little boy, about 4 or 5 years old looked at me and said "You sure are fat." I was so taken by surprise that I looked back at him and said rather coldly "You sure are rude." He looked astonished and said "But I say that to my mom ALL the time!". YIKES!

Kids haven't learned that you don't tell ppl stuff that'll hurt their feelings, like, we are teaching Devon not to say "You ugly!" If he says that to someone, he'll go "No, we don't say that!" to himself lol, b/c that is what Holly always tells him.
Take it with a grain of salt. I know it hurt you, and I probably would have cried, but imagine being his mother?! As he said, she hears it everyday, and probably from his daddy too sounds like...so, just think that you will not always have to hear that, and that should motivate you even more.
