I wish I'd said SOMETHING. Instead I just looked at my MIL (who I have been actually getting along with lately - how scary is THAT?!) like I couldn't believe they just said that. She said, "Aww they are just jealous don't listen to those trailor park hussies!" (which I don't think was a very nice thing for HER to say either)
I mean, it DOES make me feel bad that there are children who have nothing. It really does. I ALWAYS donate something to Toys for Tots, and we always get at least one name off the Angel tree to buy for.
It just makes me mad when people just assume things.
