Cruel words....

A quick post based on the observations of #2 when she recently helped take  #1 to a mid week event.  

I was only told about it whilst out on the weekend with my husband (who like me) inwardly winced at the distinct reasoning behind the open comment.

Apparently it went something like this....

• #2 (with loud voice) - Look Daddy, that person looks like Hagrid!

This comment is unfortunate on a few levels:

1 - The person was a woman.  (The comment was made  in a quiet queue)

2 - Hagrid, as all Harry Potter fans know, is not particularly svelte or feminine

3 - Our failings as parents to encourage our children to keep such pertinent thoughts to themselves

4 - Worse...I immediately realised who #2 was referring to as I have had a similar thoughts myself but could not succinctly place the character.    Shame on me.......
