Ahhh, Kids

Well, it finally happened...Amelia apparently said something terrible (and so embarrassing to us that I will not repeat it on here) at school today that will now force us to have a more "grown up" talk with her than we want to. So far, we have tried to deflect any of the hard questions - race, gender, death, etc. However, now that she has made a comment that goes against anything we want her to learn, we don't have any option but to address it. I don't think Amelia had any understanding or context for what she said (nor do I have any idea where she heard it), but if we don't teach her right from wrong now, she'll never know it wasn't okay. Ahhhh, kids, they sure can find a way to keep you on your toes.
