on my mind...

...to preface I should mention that sweet Hadlee has a problem with hitting...if you are even 1mm under her height she feels entitled to smack you around.

Dear Lady from Ikea,

I was thinking about apologizing to you and your daughter that my monster terrible horrible daughter hit your daughter in the face. UNTIL that is I asked what had happened b/c of course it always seems to happen when my back is turned...you proceeded to tell me with a sassy attitude that "YOUR child smacked mine in the face." See...had you politely and in a much sweeter tone of voice brought to my attention that yes lets face it folks 2 year olds often times hit...I would have handled the situation better than I did. INSTEAD I abruptly decided that I didn't care and perhaps you needed one too. Note to the world...if you see this girl...
Put your dukes up.
