M: Mom, do you think my red hat looks like a girls hat?
Me: No, I think it looks like a boys hat and you look really cute in it! Why?
M: oh, some of the kids at school say it looks like a girls hat.
Me: Who said that?
M: I don't know.
Me: Was it __________? (insert name of child who I overheard call M a baby).
M: No, I don't remember. Just some kids.
Me: Who was it, I want names...but nobody is going to get in trouble!!!
M: umm...I forgot.
Me: Okay, well...I like the hat. What do you think?
M: I like my hat and I'm going to wear it!
Me: Well...umm...good, who cares what they think!!
Who sounds like the adult in this conversation?
I'm not proud of myself but I am so proud of M for standing up for himself and not caring what his friends think!!
