Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 >>>Well, a bald man was sitting on a low couch and when walked past him, he reached out and felt of his shiny dome.<<<< OMG that is soooo funny!! (Sorry I am sure it wasn't for you) But people really need to relax and have a sense of humor (its good for their health)!! My brother is quite bald for 35 and has a great sense of humor about it. BTW My sister works at a Wal-Mart and the stories she tells about how people treat their children are amazing so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they don't have any patience for others' children Warm Regards & ASD 11/25/00 in Maine Re: Not a good day > > > > Oh for crying out loud...where was this woman's sense of humor? > > > She was truly offended. What I have found, Penny, is that there are > people who understand, and people who don't. Of the people who > don't, there are people who are willing to learn, and people who > aren't...and you aren't going to make that last bunch happy no matter what you do. I'm not sure exactly which category this lady fit into, but I do know that she felt her personal space was invaded...and that it was my fault. > We had a similar incident with in a book store. I wasn't in the store very long but loves books so it's usually an easy trip with just him. He doesn't care if a book has pictures or not, the bigger the better to him. (and the child is NOT hyperlexic so figure that one out for me.) Anyway, this is a large yet intimate book store. There are couches and chairs throughout the store and lots of people sit and read for long periods of time. Well, a bald man was sitting on a low couch and when walked past him, he reached out and felt of his shiny dome. The man was furious. He didn't say anything to me but if looks could kill I wouldn't be typing this now. He made several indignant grunts and slammed the book down on a table got up and left. I apologized and scolded but that wasn't anywhere near good enough for him. I think he was just very insecure about being bald. He wasn't about to listen to any explanations. loves to have his hair really really short because he loves to run his hands over it. It's a sensory issue. I'm sure he saw this man's bald head and wondered if it would feel like his. My mother who rarely goes anywhere with me was absolutely mortified. She turned 12 shades of red and wanted to leave without finishing her purchases. But my mother has lots of personal issues and has a very hard time coping with kids of any ability so I ignore her.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I think it's really kind of funny! The guy obviously had a problem with his lack of hair. Oh well, he must lead a very unhappy existence! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 > > LOL...this reminds me of when was tiny...she was absolutely > fascinated with " brown people " , as she called them. This reminds me of when Enrique was about five. We were standing in line at the Bronx Zoo, and Enrique, after looking thoughtfully at the black couple ahead of us, turned to me and said, " Mama, have you ever noticed that some people are a different color? " My sister in law is black and her daughers are, well, whatever...so it wasn't as if he had never seen anyone with a different skin color. I guess it just suddenly struck him as interesting.
