"Why are you so funny looking?"

Yup. That's what my boy said to a person with dwarfism at the pool today. The man either didn't hear him or chose to ignore him.

Which may be for the best because it's easier for me to figure out how to handle these situations if I have a little time to think about it (refer to the how-does-the-baby-get-in-the-mommy's-belly post).

So, at dinner, Michiel and I talked to him about when people look different and what's okay to say and what might hurt someone's feelings.

I'm sure this will be a series of conversations.

The parenting excitement never stops!
