Kelli, that is truly ignorant!!! Yes, let's all be glad that WE ARE

NOT HER! Pathetic. I'm glad that the majority of people in this

world have good manners. Keep up your great attitude!!!

I am sorry you had to go through that. I have had a couple of stares

and comments in the last week. I have just said to a couple of

people, " If you are curious or have any questions, I would be happy

to answer them. " One " rude " (or so I thought) person said, " my neice

has a totally flat head in back, would that help her? " I figure it

is either a chance to educate someone or to get them to shut up and

mind their own business.

My eight year old son gets more questions than me at school. A lot

of times he just says that is a football fan but today I

listened to him explain to one mom all about torticollis and plagio,

how long he would have to wear it, how it doesn't bother him at all.

I was so proud of him.

Anyway, down let the turkeys get you down.....your son will have the

most beautiful head ever!!!!

Hi Kelli,

It's too bad people have to be so rude, but at least doesn't

know. In Hannah's third band we had a lady gawking who actually

tripped over a curbing in the Walmart parking lot and fell flat on

her face. Payback

I too am used to the stares and dont let them bother me. But the

other day I was at IHOP and a woman said loudly to the other lady she

was with " Good Lord! " as she stared at . I mean give me a

break. Have some heart.
