Dear older lady in the grocery store deli...
While I appreciate the fact that you think my 5 year old son is cute, I do NOT think that it warrants free rein for you to tell him never to join the military.
Hes five years old, so bending down to eye level with him and telling him never to join the military..."Because my husband died for this country so "they" can come over our borders! Make "them" wear the uniform that my husband died fighting in." *them being illegal immigrants, I learned as she cocked a thumb to the lady in the deli*
Not verbatim, but I was in too much shock to really remember word for word the entire exchange. I think I replied to her..."I'm sorry about your husband." and then pushed my cart away from her. Fast.
The kicker?
The lady at the deli handing my son a sample of quesadilla was Hispanic.
I mean, WTF? My son is in KINDERGARTEN...and really has no concept of what the hell she was saying. But he does understand the word "dead" and was looking very confused and looking to me for help.
