    And I get miffed because my burger order went sideways. This thread reminds us all to count or blessings.

    I have had the "staring" thing in public happen and it was very hard to control my upset. My Grandson was born with septo optic dysplasia and peters anomaly. Other than his eyes looking abnormal you would never know any disability exists. Some rude people stare and women have been aghast when approaching him and his mother, my daughter, in the restroom during the changing of his diaper. Others are polite and reserve reaction. Low intellect people abound in public. They have no impact on my relationship with my Grandson thankfully.

    A lot of people fear what they don't understand or have not experienced in life.

    Yea, could be. It gets them out of their comfort level. They like what they know.

    Wish I had some helpful advice, i'm just not sure how I would respond, having never been there. I suspect I would tell them to take a picture, it will last longer. If they actually tried? I would probably lose my $#@!.

    Bless you and yours. Karma smiles upon thee.
