Hi,
I am Angel I have 3 kids, Mallori (AH) who is almost 16, Boomer (AH)
who is 12 and Alli (Achon) who is 5 ½. Alli is in 1st grade. The
first week of school 3 boys (maybe 5th or 6th grade) came up to us
and asked how old Alli was and if she went to school there. After I
told them yes, one boy hit one of the other boys and said see I told
you. Then the second week 3 girls were walking maybe 3 feet behind
us. One hollered across the play ground to some boy and said "look it
is that little kid again". I stopped and turned and looked at the
girls, the one who hollered looked at me like she couldn't believe we
heard her. I turned back around walked a few feet then turned back
and told them that her name is Alli. Yesterday Alli went to a friends
birthday party at a park, Alli, myself and a couple of the kids from
the party were standing by the play ground talking and 4 boys (4 to
10 yrs old) came and stood behind us, and said "wow she can talk and
she has a big head". That was said a few times. I didn't say anything
for a few reasons. One: being it pissed me off it is the first time I
have heard that comment and Two: I was stunned. It hurt and I didn't
want to make a big deal out of it just in case Alli didn't hear it. I
hope that she didn't. She hasn't said anything yet. She has a great
group of friends who don't treat her any other way then her being
just Alli. It kills me to know that she will encounter rude and mean
people in her life. I wish I could protect her, she is such a neat
kid. Sorry this was so long.
Hugs, ^I^Angel
