the small meaness of it
shocked me, really in
this day and age
you would think
we had worked our way
past this sort of petty thinking
but no, apperently there are still
social neanderthals out there
who, when seeing some one different
have to poke fun at them,
before i could voice my outrage
at their actions my boy came
to the defense of his friend
standing up and calmly saying
difference is good, if we were all bullies
like you...then the world would be horrible
then taking the hand of his friend
he turned his back on the instigators
and walked back over to me
never have i been prouder

my son and his mate who is on the autism spectrum, were playing when confronted by ignorance, his response astounded me....so calm and brave..
