Let's all Play Nice.
I know a lot of people in this month of November are doing the “gratitude project” where every day you say something you are grateful for in your life. I love this. I love seeing what everyone says. However, I have decided on my own project for November, and it all stems from some thoughts that I have been thinking for a while. Here’s the back story… My daughter is 10. She is in 5 th grade. And she came home last week in tears, because the boys on the bus told her she was fat. My son is 8. He’s in 3 rd grade, and he came home a few weeks ago asking if his calf had baby fat on it, because someone in his class told him that he was carrying baby fat. Having been a round child myself, I know the pain that comes with words like this. I know I have written before about the words I remember as child from kids I went to school with. I am 42 years old...
