Sweet Revenge

[Guest guest]

Hi, all:

I just couldn't resist to write you guys (gals) and tell you what

happened just a few moments ago.

To bring you up to speed on this situation..........

I have a " so-called " friend named that has three children. Her

youngest is one years old. Of course, when the youngest one was born, I

was still in the midst of hard times with and him eating/gaining

weight. She had come over one day and made one nasty remark after

another about how her 3 month old was the size of my 1 year old. I

honestly don't think she meant to be " mean " , but it was coming across

that way. I kept defending and his size. At that time,

wasn't walking yet, wasn't talking, and just was pretty much a blob on

the floor (but with the cutest personality).

Anyway, I haven't been around her and her kids much this past year

partly out of choice, but also that we both are busy with our own family

life and kids. Well, she just stopped by my house to say hi. I hadn't

seen her youngest in quite a long time, and as all " typical "

kids.....he's huge! Well, placed the youngest next to to

play. She again had to make the statement of, " Boy, , you better

watch out, Doug's going to tower over you and probably crush you...ha.

ha. ha. " (I wasn't laughing). I said, " Don't worry about , he can

hold his own " . Because even though is small, he is around a lot

of toddlers in playgroups and has had to learn to adapt to playing with

bigger kids; also has an older sister; and he's two years old.......

need I say more?

Anyway, I couldn't help be proud of that he was totally " all over "

this one year old! Not that I want to be a bully, but he would

quit climbing on him, pushing him, tickling him (a little too hard),

etc.. Then to top it off, 's oldest son (who is 6 yrs. old) was

sitting on the floor on his knees and ran up behind him and jumped

on his back!!! Needless to say, I didn't come down " too " hard on

to stop just because I was angry that felt that just because her

kid is a moose that would be a pansy and get basically " beat up " .

I DEFINATELY do not support violence, nor want my children to be mean or

bullies, but " holding their own " is okay with me.

I guess you could say it was just a sweet moment of revenge for me. I

did look at and say when she was leaving, " See, I told you

could hold his own.....and by the way, try not to feel so sorry for

him " ! She didn't say anything in return and basically just said

pleasant good-bye's.

Okay, I won't drag this story out. Just wanted to share with parents

that probably could understand! Thanks for listening.......
