I would have surely done exactly what you did but boy, one of these days it would be nice to get past the shock and have a zingy comeback. I'm working on one :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782895993683857172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560607747499642804.post-48762494523731040182010-01-22T14:53:57.486+11:002010-01-22T14:53:57.486+11:00I don't know that my comeback would be describ...I don't know that my comeback would be described as "good", but imagining myself in that situation I can tell you that I would have said, very loudly: "Happy Christmas to you too, you stupid b*tch".

I just wish people would not open their mouths and say such stupid things! I am so sorry that you experienced that. A while back someone called Jack "lazy" in passing (we were using a SN stroller) and I had the same reaction...I couldn't think of anything to say. Yes, I put my 6 year old son in a large stroller because he's lazy..yep. that';s it! I wish that were it some days...lol!<br /><br />Again, sorry you had to go through that. I was so happy to see a post from you! Take care!<br /><br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641799047603535415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560607747499642804.post-54829746848549682002010-01-13T02:38:23.762+11:002010-01-13T02:38:23.762+11:00We don't have lights for parking spaces here i...We don't have lights for parking spaces here in UK (well I've never seen them) but it's a good idea.<br />Some people will never understand the ramifications of having a child with a disability. Think how much she misses by judging others by the way she herself would behave. I think being so narrow-minded can be a huge disadvantage. There are so many good things in life that rude woman is unable to appreciate. So sad. Your reaction was just right at that time on that day. Trust your instincts.<br /><br />Heather xHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114470051285093104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560607747499642804.post-63354751182135957782010-01-12T13:04:34.172+11:002010-01-12T13:04:34.172+11:00Blog about it, let off steam.
