Conversation between a grand mother and a teenage grand daughter at my booth. They are looking at the toys and cat themed keychains that I sell.
Me: I am raising funds for the TNR community cats that we are helping and other feeders and shelters that require funds.
GM: I don't like cats.
GD: Grandma you cannot say that in front of aunty, that's very offending. She is helping cats.
I was speechless. Moral of the story, sometimes we adults need to relearn the values of compassion and empathy. If a young girl can say that, don't you think we adults should learn to reassess our thoughts and speech too. Just something for us to ponder on.
