"Are you sure because you seemed a bit perturbed?"
"Ummm thanks but I'm fine."
"Are you sad that you didn't get anything?"
(I kinda was) "Noooo."
"You know I didn't get you that bathing suit because I though it wasn't very flattering on you, right?"
(I was just about to cry at that point) "Umm thanks again, Mum."
"Are you sure you're okay?" (She was getting up to leave.)
(Nope!)"Yeah!"
I was pretty much fine up until that point but my mom saying that the bathing suit didn't look good on me, crushed me. I know I'm not exactly skinny (I'm on the chubbier side) and it's hard to find bathing suits that look good on me and all I want is to be slim! After she left, (I know it might sound like I'm a baby but I'm not) I cried for a while. It hurt! It was like the one bathing suit in the entire store that I thought looked good on me and my mom tells me "It wasn't very flattering on me!" hurt! I told my friend about this but she didn't seem upset about it at all. She told me her mom tells her that stuff a lot but that didn't comfort me at all! I bet every body has had at least one moment in their life when somebody has called them fat but it might have been a joke. But whether it was a joke or not, it can really hurt somebody! So maybe the next time you're about to call somebody fat (even if you don't mean it) think about this post!
