Kids say the ..... things.

In the kindergarten, picking up my son (he went to a new class this year, has been going there for about a week). Two little girls were talking behind my back (about 5-6 years old, I guess) and I heard one saying to another "Look, it's this boys mom! Look at her" - "What about her?" -"Look at her face!"
I heard that and so did 3 other parents who were there (not to mention the kids who all looked at me).
So, I never thought of myself as particularly pretty, but what now? Can you scare little kids with my face or what?
Yes, I do realize that when you dress even slightly "different" you will be, in situation or another, stared at and talked about. It's just they were talking about my face. Thanks, girlies.

I'm not really sure how I feel or what I think about it all.

Lasteaias, pojal järel, esimest nädalat uues rühmas. Päeva lõpp, riietub garderoobis. Kaks tüdrukut mu selja taga (ma arvan, et kah nii viie-kuuesed). Üks teisele: "Vaata, see on selle poisi emme! Vaata teda!" - "Mis siis on?" - "Vaata ta nägu!!!"
Vestlus oli küllalt vali, et ma kuuleksin seda, samuti ka  (vist oli) 3 lapsevanemat sealsamas rääkimata lastest, kes kõik jõllitasid mind seda kuuldes.
Ei ole kunagi end kuigi kauniks pidanud, aga no kas tõesti saab minuga juba väikseid lapsi hirmutada?
Ok, ma mõistan, et nähes välja "teistsugune", on pea vältimatu pääseda jõllitamisest ja/või kommentaaridest. Lapsed rääkisid minu näost.
Ei oskagi midagi arvata ega tunda, kui aus olla. Segadus.
Ja mis on viga vanematel, kes ei ole õpetanud oma lastele, et teiste inimeste välimust (jne) ei arvustata valjusti ja nende kuuldes? Minu meelest on see näpuga näitamisele väga sarnane.  Huh.
