The other day, fortunately AFTER her pictures were taken, Kaylee was bitten on the face by another child at daycare. Yes, on the face. More specifically, the other child bit her on the fleshiest part of the cheek. I think s/he might be a budding cannibal.

That’s backstory.

Ok, so this morning as I was walking out of daycare, a little girl of about 5 years old was standing on the sidewalk, waiting for her mother to get her sister out of the car. She stopped me for a little conversation.

LITTLE GIRL: Who’s mommy are you?

ME: I’m Kaylee’s mommy. She’s in the toddler room.

LITTLE GIRL: You’re Hailey’s mommy?

ME: I’m KAYlee’s mommy.

LITTLE GIRL: Kaylee?

ME: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Oh. … She was being mean to me yesterday.

I briefly debated my response. I could have called her a dirty liar, because she’s much older than Kaylee and spends her days in a different room, so they probably haven’t even met. I also could have said, “You probably deserved it. ARE YOU THE ONE THAT BIT HER ON THE FACE????”

Because, you know, what better way to start a Friday morning than by making a little girl cry?

Instead, I went with, “Oh really? I’m sorry. Bye!”

I’m such a saint.
