Dear Stranger Lady At the Store:

Dear Stranger Lady At The Store,

I know more about you than I want to know and it makes me sad.

You were talking to a receptionist at the vet clinic where I took my little Miney because he was not feeling very well. (He's fine!)

While I waited for Miney's medicine to be brought to the front desk, I heard the following comments come out of your mouth:
  • "I had an sonogram and it is a girl - I could not be more disappointed."
  • "I am a total tomboy and I don't know what I will do with a girl."
  • "I hate pink."
  • "I will just make her do everything my sons do."
Wow, I feel sorry for your little baby girl, and she is not even born yet. So many thoughts are going through my head like.....
  • Way to start this relationship off on the wrong foot.
  • Could you be any more judgmental?
  • How are your sons going to treat this precious new little baby if they hear you talking like that now?
  • Are you teaching them to value women? Nope, I don't think so.
How is this little girl going to handle coming into this world already being a disappointment to her own mother?

And we wonder why our little girls battle self esteem problems.

Sadly,
MomOf3

And WOW!! What I would of done for some pink in my life. But I am blessed with the life that the Lord gave me. I wouldn't trade any of it for anything different. I hope that she well realize what a blessing all children are, Boy or Girl!!!

How awful!

Some people are totally clueless. I will pray for this baby. I hope that once she is born, mom will realize the gift she's been given and wake up.
