Nikki please note these people are not doing it for annoying you or the kids , they are trying to be friendly with you and your kids. This is what they learned , you will see more of this kind of behavior in fobs , these are the kind of jokes their elders cracked with them. They do not understand how devastating and traumatic it is for the kids. I, my cousins , neighbors , friends all were victims of these kind of jokes. We all outgrow them but then we also forget that how hurtful they were for us when we were kids.
You are so right Mirch. I can relate.
