To Be or Not To Be Offended
Has anyone ever said something to you that was kind of offensive but you don't think they meant it maliciously? I was just told by another teacher that she thinks she inherited my "grumpy parent face" that I apparently have on during chapel when I'm here at work. What do I make of that? Does that mean that I just go around with a huge disappointed look on my face? Or should I be secure that just because I don't have a permanent smile plastered on my face and choose to communicate nonverbally with the kids through my facial expressions...that doesn't mean that I actually am grumpy, right?! I hate insults delivered with a smile. I never know what to do with them.

hey MISS jessica,
remember that those who know you - also know your heart. If a grumpy face is presented, they still know your heart (and may be thinking that you've got a lot on your mind, or perhaps you're -thinking expression-) If a comment is made thats a bit off, they still know your heart. People aren't perfect and sometimes things are just SAID. There isn't ill intent behind it, but the audience takes it at face value. Those who know you know your heart. (but not so sure about pre-k'ers .......) Hugs, Heidi
Thanks, Heidi. I appreciate the input. How's Megan doing? I've missed seeing her!
