The little girl was mean to the Bean again.
“I only play with short haired girls,” then played with long haired and short haired girls, just not the Bean.
Emily didn’t understand.
“Why are some people mean mommy?’
And all I could say was “Because there just are mean people Bean. But you aren’t and I’m proud of you for that.”
“But mommy I tried to make her nice. I would have taken care of her if she hurt herself.”
“Yes honey I know. But she’s just mean and you aren’t. What she is doing is wrong and what you are doing is right. I’m sorry it hurts and I’m sorry she’s mean to you. I love you.”
“Mommy? Maybe her mommy and daddy didn’t teach her to be nice.”
Yeah Bean, truer words were never spoken
