I was at the gym today. I had finished a workout and was in the shower. The gym is hosting a summer program where the kids can have pool time and then shower after wards. These girls were calling each other liars during a fight. Then one of he girls says that another one is "full of poo." She replies that she was the one "full of poo" and that she was the "color of poo" and "smelled like it too." Of course the girl that was receiving the comment was black. I felt horrified about it. The poor girls just quit talking. I literally ached for her. I did not hear what happened afterwards since the girls went to go get ready and I was mid shower. Once I was dressed, I found the teacher with kids. I told her what I heard and she said the girls let her know about it and it was "taken care of." Hopefully, it was.
Anyways, it made me realize that kids can be really mean and my goal is to keep my kids from behaving in that manor. I was horrified and I think that if that mom of the child had heard her child, she would have been mortified. I know I would have been.
Anyways, that's it for me.
