I have 'bashed' the podgy, uncute kid in ghastly clothes and ghastlier backpack, in exactly these words in Tanthya's Redux post. Have been sitting here bracing myself for a barrage of tomatoes and shoes for daring to not find a kid cute.
Am so glad there are others who feel the same.
Hi J,
So glad of company especially when in the minortity
BUT HEY we are made of sterner stuff
Let me know when the 'bashing' starts😆
Annie and Japonica...
As the mother of a child that is very healthy like that lil girl I am way mor than offended...I am in tears😭 Annie neengaluma
Tangam. aiyyayo.
I am so, so sorry. Podgy is an unfortuante word, I agree, but believe me, it does not apply to all 'healthy' kids, my most adorabe neice is one such, and I say such kids are cuddly, not podgy. I think we used it more to bash the Cvs than the kid (Annie/enigma17, hope I'm not being presumtious by including you here).
I don't know, if i've made things worse, but I can imagine how upsetting our choice of words might have been. It is quite distressing to hear a mom's tears, I am so sorry.
