So I'm at my brother's basketball game tonight(we lost by the way) and I'm talking to my mom at half time and a mother of one of the boys on the team comes up and just starts talking. Completely oblivious to everything else that's going on. This is not the first time she's done it either. My mom told her to wait a min and let me finish what I was saying but once I was done, she butted in. I would expect this out of my toddlers...MAYBE...but certainly not a grown woman. It is just so rude! Everytime she does it, I get madder and madder at her. It just erks me!
On a lighter note, i was in my 2nd grade class today and we were talking about Martin Luther King Jr. Today was his birthday and the teacher wanted the students to have a little backround for Monday. I had two different groups. One was reading a fairly easy book and the other a little bit harder. The 2nd group I had was much more interactive. They seemed more interested in what we were doing as well. As we were reading, one boy stops and asks me why the people were acting like that and why the blacks couldn't go to school with the whites etc. He asked me this as if it were the most important question ever asked; like he was the only one that had ever thought of that. I think they are at that age where they think that...that they are the only people that think of those type of questions. We kept reading and we got to a icture of a park that had a sign on it that said "whites only". I tried to explain to them that everyone is the same, we are all human, we just have different skin colors; and that is no reason to treat people any differently. I could tell one of the boys was thinking long and hard about it because he said "ya...i still play with my dog and he has a different skin color than me; he's black and I'm white!" It was all I could do to not burst out laughing. He was being completely serious too.
