;D A little story for my friends.
Yesterday the girls and I went to Kmart. We were bored and just goofing off. As we were walking through the store an older man came up to us. Nothing unusal there. Brook is a magnet for strangers. He asked if he could Pray for Brooker. I said "sure you can. Pray she is cute like this forever
" and I continued to smell the candles. He said "No, let me Pray she is healed from this syndrome"
My blood started to boil but i'm trying to come up with some sort of learning experence for the man but before I could open my mouth........
Mary, with her super overprotective sister mouth says....
" Don't you dare Pray to change her. I won't allow it. You obviously don't know what these kids are made of. We don't want her to be healed or changed you jerk. Next time before you go walking up to someone in the store asking to change their kid, you should ask the parents if they want their kid changed. Educate yourself on the love these kids have for everyone before thinking they need changed. You need changed dude."
She grabed the cart and off she went with Brook. I stood there stunned for a minute. Couldn't believe what i'd just heard. I just looked at the man and said " Well, there you have it" and walked away.
Most likely not the best approach but thats how it went down. I did have a talk with Mary later and told her I was proud of her for sticking up for her sister but we could probally come up with nicer ways to say it. She agreed but also said she was just down right ticked off. Her sister is perfect.
I love these kids {{{{HUGS}}}}
