To the mom in the vestibule of the restaurant who looked at Thalia and said, “Where are your gloves? Why don’t you have gloves? See how my daughter has gloves? You should be wearing gloves on a day like today…” :
Fuck You.
Love,

P.S. Your kid’s clothes were ugly, she shouldn’t be in a stroller at that age, and the name Brooklyn? Beyond terrible. Just in case you wanted my opinion in return.

God, Brooklyn, really? We live up here in Massachusetts where names like Emma and Cody are big but never a Brooklyn. I’m definitely going to think of you and laugh when the next wave of baby names in these parts comes to include Dorchester or Roxbury or Newton. Brooklyn! That’s a classic.
Maybe she just felt stupid because her daughter was the ONLY ONE wearing gloves.Stupid Asshole People.
Total be-otch. Some people are obsessed with whether kids are cold (my MIL is a freak about it) – I just figured it was a generational thing, but this woman was probably not a grandma? I’m totally surprised my coworker didn’t mention gloves, b/c I’m sure she wasn’t wearing any either.
Hee hee. And I had a grandma type wearing a sweatshirt halfway down her thighs ask me, “Isn’t your baby cold?” when it was 80 degrees outside.
Perhaps, she doesn’t mean anything or just showing her concern of to your daughter. Take things easy, provoking the situation won’t help. I know what you feel about it and can’t blame you for feeling that way for your a mom and it’s normal to protect our child against anything that hurts them in words and actions. But it also doesn’t mean that we get into fight or insult back the person. Just think of it that you were more fortunate compared to her for you were not a NARROW minded and PATHETIC.:)
