"I've never been so upset to be right."
My youngest was very upset when she called. She said, but we can just undo that decision, right? "What's that called?" When I told her that wasn't a thing she got more outraged. I actually said to her, gently, I've been saying this for years, sweetheart. Her response was, I know, mommy. I didn't think they would really do it.
I'm not sure how to tell her what's to come. Gawd, I hate this.
