GastricGal reacted to coleoptera in Weight based discrimination
I am an elementary teacher. One day I visited a new classroom of kindergarteners and we were talking about writng our whole name. "Some people have short names, and some people have long names!" I told them that I used to have a short name but when I got married I got a new name and it was LONG! :success1:
A little girl raised her hand and said, "You couldn't have gotten married!" I asked Why? "She said you are too fat to fit in a wedding dress!":confused:
There is now way a 5 year old could come up with a discriminatory remark like that on her own. SOMEONE is teaching this child how to discriminate. She is also being taught that it's OK to SAY the rude discriminating things out loud! :welldone2:
I did tell the little girl (in private) that I did get married, that I did wear a wedding dress, and not only was I beautiful bride, I am also a beautiful teacher!)

GastricGal reacted to KateBruin in Names for my new sleeve
Evil monster who doesn’t let me eat? Pain in my gut? Little sh*thead? Is it gas or is it an ulcer? I could come up with mean names for my pouch.
