I went outside this evening to get my son in for a bath( he was outside playing with a small group of boys that he met last night). As I went up to them and called his name I heard one of them ask my son who I was. When he told them I was his mum one boy said at the top of his voice " God,isn't your mum fat." and then all the others started laughing and looked at me. I stood there completely stunned that:

A. He even thought that

B. A child could be so blatantly rude to an adult

And to make me feel even worse, I have been on a diet and intense exercise regime for a month, have lost 10lb and was feeling a bit more confident about myself but now I feel blooming awful.

Anybody else ever been gob-smacked by a comment??

More than a few people have mentioned my sticky out teeth, but I've got used to it now. Tickled pink that they notice now.
i thought you were dead.
As a kid I had the opposite problem - skinny as a rake. Still have the bony legs and arms, just putting the weight on round the waist. My uncle (we're from Yorkshire) described me as a "nowt but a whippet wi' lipstick on"

Oh for those days
some say kids and animals are the most honest forms of life.
Hey Pink Fizz, I cringe everytime I come across my own children outside, I dread what they might be saying.
Anyway, when I was little I used to give my mum a total red neck on a regular basis. I didn't know this until recently.

My mum used to get the majority of my clothes from a Catalogue and she reckons if anyone, even strangers in the park etc said to me that they liked my clothes, I would say thank you and then tell them that the post man gave me it..oops
How can you let somebody insult you without a response? Dont lie to yourself and say it is ok, get right back in their face (child or not) and give a full verbal response to how you think they look / behave.
Try being a teacher - I had a girl the other day ask if I had had a boob job. Assuming she had asked cos the girls in my family are well provided in that department, I said 'no its the genes'. She replied - 'no I meant they arent as saggy as I would expect of someone your age' !!! Im 33!!!
wouldn't you just like to string them up emx384?
lol
the pupil that is
i just reread my answer and thought it had a double meaning lol
i was walking thru town and two girls pointed at me and said 'god doesnt he look like tom cruise?' what a cheek tom cruise looks nothing like me.............................
once i went to see my dad..id lost a stone and felt really great. soon as i walked in, he said, "christ you're putting on the beef". i could have cried!

and 10 years ago, me and some mates wre out clubbing and a young lad (about 18/19 obviously a student) came over and started chatting...then he whispered that i should leave with him cos he was 'born to please the older woman'. I was 26!!! Needless to say i didn't leave with him.

yeah once a group of teenagers called me a wrinkly old hag! but don't worry...they got what they deserved.
but of course boys and girls it is possible to get back at them.

Hi Mih I seem to be following you around, and there was I thinking you were a thirteen year old retard.....

Some dossing children were playing football and effing and blinding when my dog who likes eating cat poo went up to make up to them and nuzzle them -being a friendly dog.

Leave those poor children alone, Fido ! I shouted, meaning that the unfortunates would have to wash their hands before eating or sticking their puggy fingers in their mouths for fear of getting somethinng worse [ toxocara or toxoplasmosis immediately spring ot mind ].

who are you calling poor ? just because you wear a sharp suit and drive a rolls royce, protested one little jerk.

driven in a bentley I corrected. NO I said, I using the word figuratively, in thesense of unfortunate and put upon.
Oh and another time, because I am old and deaf,

some blighters were misbehaving near a canal,

and on the canal bridge I whispered to another old coot,

Delinquent children, wouldn't you like to drown them all ?

and his eyes lit up and a child turned around and asked, who are you calling delinquent. ?
carakeel's Daughter, said I got a feminine side!!!!!!
