There's a "shut the hell up you witch." It still irks me to have strangers come up to me in Walmart and make comments about Joey being in the cart. Just in the cart, mind you. Not screaming, not carrying on, just "that child is too old to be in a cart." No, he's not. He's five. Thanks. Move along. Nothing more to see here. <BR/><BR/>There really is nothing to be said to stupid people. And I think my friend is discovering those kinds of people can't read.Joeymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254601805621175842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545465610500649673.post-66829142916366914502008-02-25T16:34:00.000-08:002008-02-25T16:34:00.000-08:00I remember those days, I tried saying "He has Sens...I remember those days, I tried saying "He has Sensory Integration Disfunction" (my son's first diagnosis) and got even worse looks.

Cause it is none of that witch's business anyway.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527123571625999061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545465610500649673.post-32554567004308411062008-02-25T15:33:00.000-08:002008-02-25T15:33:00.000-08:00You'd think by now I might be able to let those na...You'd think by now I might be able to let those nasty judgmental comments roll off my back, but I can feel my blood starting to boil just reading this post.
