Random ramblings

My mum always says "God pays debts without money" and this evening I saw this in action on a small scale. For the past few weeks a little boy has been trying to hurt my daughter when they go out to play. He has made her stop taking her new bike outside as he makes fun of her wearing a helmet, and he keeps saying her helmet is a boy's helmet as it has cars on it (she loves cars, and wants to be a 'car fixer, a lady one, because they can be ladies or mans'). Not content with that he knocked her over with his space hopper when they were playing on those, so now she doesn't want to take that out to play either. The grown up in me tells her to ignore him and play with what she likes, knowing his mum is dealing with it, but the mum in me wants to yell at him to go away and cuddle my baby until she is happy again. He obviously picked on the wrong girl tonight though, as he upset her, she ran her scooter over his toes and made him cry. My own girl felt sorry for him and took him to his mum, how forgiving is that. I just felt that now he knows how much it hurts to be on the receiving end, perhaps he will ease up on my girl. Time will tell.
