from the mouths of babes
when i picked my little sister up from school today she informed me of something one of her classmates told her. apparently, the classmate told grace that according to their mom and dad, "obama wants to make white people slaves like black people". poor little grace tried to tell the girl that she was wrong(reminds me of me when i was her age ;)), but she just ended up coming home upset about it.

1. Sounds like that little girl's parents read David Duke's blog.

4. My middle-aged dental hygenist said something like that to me yesterday.
I couldn't react, because she had a sharp instrument in my mouth.

People are insane. And stupid. At least, the little kid has an excuse. She's a kid!

5. She's definitely taking after her big sister.
She'll learn how to handle people like that in time. I think it's absolutely great that she understood that the other little girl was wrong.

7. omg. I'm trying to laugh scornfully at people like this
you know, the way they scornfully dismiss us....

I try to act like I had assumed they were kidding and then let my lip curl up in disgust, while I say nothing. :-)
