Let me first confess by saying, I don't know why this bothers me so.. But it does! I know I've brought it up before, but it came up again today...
We walk in to a restaurant and the host says "How Many?" hmmm? well we're the only three standing here, so what do you think? But I say "3" in a nice voice! Then he looks at us, looks at Veg and says "Oh 2 1/2"... No, I said 3.... He then says 2 1/2 again as if he was arguing with me. I said "No, he's a whole person not a 1/2, there will be 3 eating today" GRR...
I don't know if its the "children should be seen and not heard" Mentality, or if its the fact that they are shorter then adults, or the fact that they can be treated in society as less then human, but what ever the reason, I birthed this child and I can tell you with out a doubt he is a WHOLE PERSON!
