I try not to let it upset me, as I get enough people my age and full grown men and women adults asking me stupid questions about my appearance or why I do what I do or what I want or whatever the hell...
The only thing that really, really upset me was a little Menonite (sp?) boy at the grocery store. A family of Menonites came through my line, their dress style is very simple, women keep their hair back and wear a simple dress, men wear a nice shirt and pants and whatnot......and they are being cashed out by a teenaged girl with full hair and makeup done.
The little boy wouldn't stop staring at me. Then he tugged on his mother's sleeve and made these gestures immitating racoon eyes. I will admit, I wanted to say something, but I was torn. He was young, but at the same time, there are so few Menonites around here that how could they not notice other people walking around dressed casual, or women with their hair done and wearing makeup? Meh...I just kept my mouth shut.
