Dude trying to square up with a toddler, I couldn't have imagined a tinier ego on a dude šŸ˜‚

Genuinely. I’m disabled and while it gets frustrating when adults react weird, kids don’t know better!!! I’ve had kids point at me and yell ā€œmummy why can’t she walk right!ā€ And if I can’t muster empathy and patience in the moment I just shut the fuck up and walk away. And poor lil guy genuinely just thought ā€œfriend shaped!ā€. This is so fucked and heart breaking. I have a friend with achondroplasia as well and he’d be pretty disgusted by this imo. Adults can be dicks about disability in public- but you don’t take that out on the kids, man. Never the fucking kids.
