This really just happened…

I didn’t say anything when their youngest son (about 6 or 7) sat at the bottom of the slide at the playground and started throwing sand. The playground wasn’t full, so I just took my son to a different area to play for a while.

I didn’t say anything a while later when we saw the same family at the Dairy Queen, where their kids were standing on the tables. Yes, standing on the surface where other people expect to eat.

I held my tongue when the oldest boy told his father to shut up. And the father just accepted it.

I cringed when the mother approached my son and asked him what school he was going to go to this fall, but I let him answer for himself.

But when she turned to me, after hearing  that he was being homeschooled and said,

“Aren’t you worried that he’ll grow up unable to interact properly with other people?”

all I could say was “You have GOT to be kidding!”
