Today my child's teacher asked if she needed a new coat.
I'm trying to see thus through her eyes. Her coat is the right size. It has a great functioning zipper, and a nice style hood that stays attached and covers her head.
But aparantly it's dirty. So dirty it should be replaced?
I really don't mean to be an ungrateful bitch here... But this coat is in great shape, it's just dirty... I don't understand.
She's just going to get a new coat dirty too. I don't understand how thus fixes anything.
Then she will have two dirty coats?
I would understand lies of offers... But I don't understand this one. I like free stuff. I'm good at accepting help when I need it.
Now I'm slightly insulted that a really good coat still isn't "good enough" in someone else's eyes. I've seen kids who need new coats... Wrong size, broken zippers, ripped sleeves, holes in the pockets so big you could lose a statue of Buddha.... I know kids who DO need new coats.
Am I wrong for thinking that as long as it is warm and secure it should be fine? That a little dirt isn't a big deal?
