Our backgrounds are similar, Nea. Could we be distant kin transplanted to Musicbanterland?

Aw, so cute!

You'd think so, but it just caused me grief and the brunt of a few jokes. Kids are mean. I was so relieved when it finally grew out. It was comparable to Ralphie and the Bunny suit.

Yes, kids can be very cruel. I absolutely hate that and any type of bullying. If I'd ever seen those characteristics in my children, they'd be grounded pronto. I think it's a serious matter because being shamed or made fun of is something you never forget.

My parents (mother and step-dad) made fun of everyone that wasn't like them and it killed me as a kid to have to be under the same roof as that crap. They'd even go to the mall down the street just to make fun of people. It was insane. All of that **** stopped with me.

I know what you mean - my mother's side of the family (with a couple of exceptions, like my late aunt) was/is like that too. My father's side of the family is the total opposite. Glad you put a stop to that.

Funny, just as I'm reading your post, my daughter is on the line. lol She's such a sweet person. I'm so thankful she was never exposed that.

The bride-to-be is on the line! So happy for her.

Um, why do you think Hanna is getting married? Did I miss something? Isn't she still quite young?
