Chey I can understand your hesitation to be overjoyed with the way your daughter went about it but I applaud her standing up to a little bully. My 14 yr old daughter is well .. really large for her years. She had a petuitary tumor earlier and we saw the growth spurt from hell. Her feet and hands are particularly large and she hears quite a bit of razzing from that. (She wears a men's 15 shoe) Anyway, she takes a lot in stride from little jerks like your offended parent's pride & joy and just laughs it off pretty much. She amazed me on a few occasions though at how quickly my laid back, seemingly introverted child becomes a lioness on the attack. We were at the fair, she and her younger brother were about to get on the Scrambler and the ride operator was fastening everybody in. This "charming" character decides he's gonna scare my son and tells him to hold tight, he doesn't want to fall out when the ride goes upside down. Of course he was terrified (he was 8 at the time) My daughter snatched the door release loose and told her brother to come on, they weren't riding any rides they let buttholes operate. The guy said something back and she she said... "You see this shoe? It's a 15 and it's not gonna feel good up your butt!" LMAO I should have said something about respecting elders but so help me all I could do is laugh. I was really proud she'd stood up for him. (I know, she could've been more tactful but I liked it.)
