how would you react if a child insulted one of your features that you’ve never noticed? would you become insecure or would you ignore it, since a child said it?

1. I’ve been a teacher for young kids for a while and boy do they go hard. Not all of them are super innocent about it, too, I love kids but they somehow know how to hit hard lol. My standard reaction has always been becoming super self conscious of it for a while and then slowly start to accept it or even like it.

2. Insecure because kids are brutally honest so you know they ain’t lying

3. I would obsess over it. I would take pictures of it and put it on the gram and ask friends to vote on it. I would spend days looking at old photos to see when this thing because a problem. I would be a pile of goo on the floor. Kids are savages.

4. Just ignore them outright. It wouldn’t make a difference to me, and I wouldn’t take it seriously. One once asked me if I was a boy or a girl. I’m not androgynous in the least, clearly a girl. Kids are dumb.

5. My niece once told me I laughed like Janice from Friends (years ago) and I have never forgotten it 😂

6. “Sister, your head is so small… BUT your ears are huge!” I just laughed and told them (yep, there were 2 of them and they came up to me just to inform me of the condition of my head and ears) “is that so? I’ve never noticed that”
   And moved on with my day.

   I’m very accepting of my body, whether it’s said by an innocent child or a mean adult, what’s the point? It’s their opinions or it’s the truth, nothing changes for me. Words only matter as much as you let them.

7. Girl I straight up had a 7 year old boy ask me my age *just* to say I’m too old and why am I not married yet and blah blah blah. Like boy wtf did you just say to me?! And he shut up.

   It’s fkn mean but don’t ever let these brazen kids see u be upset. If anything just roll ur eyes and ask them if they even know what 7×3 is
