If you encounter such... Turn to your child and reply in a loud stage whisper " don't listen or take offence honey..many people are emotionally crippled by their upbringing or for forgetting to take their medication to act like mature grown ups in public...you will encounter many in your life, don't be sad for what they say without thinking...be sad that they ever thought it....and...i love you....
