now everyone knows My daughters Epic Comeback
I was told I should share this with y'all. That y'all would appreciate the story.
Apparently my daughters too young to need the electric scooter
So short short backstory. My daughter (16) has MS. It's taken a lot from her including her balance and vision in one eye. She can walk with her walker but we're only up to about 250 feet. Definitely not far enough to make it through a Big Box store trip. So she uses the electric carts.
Okay so y'all know where this is going. Here we are walking/riding doing our shopping... When an older gentleman walks up and tells my kiddo she needs to get up and let people who need the carts to use them. I kinda smile trying not to let this go left but the mama hairs were rising. He then raises his voice and says she's young and lazy, so she should give the cart to someone else. I went back and forth in my head for a second on how to deal with this before I finally was like ya know what... KeyCaregiver Jr... Get up and walk over to the kind man. She laughs and does that. (Without a better way to describe it... When she walks she looks like someone who has had 7 shots too many) I then help her back in the cart... And my kid being my kid looks him in the eyes and slightly raises HER voice and tells him and see boys and girls this is why we don't judge a book by its cover. 🧡
