School Bullies

Renee : "mommy, teacher said I have to take milk"
Mommy : "why? but you're always heaty.  I can get u another tin but u must drink lotsa water ok?"
Renee : "ya, I'm too short"
Mommy : "who said that?"
Renee : "they call me shorty pants at school"
Mommy : (angry) "who called u that?!"
Renee : "the taller girls and boys"
Mommy : "well, ignore these people. but if u're very angry and really need to retaliate, u call them giraffes" "but I would rather you ignore them, no point bothering with such mean people"

Few days later, last evening...

Mommy : "so Renee, do those boys and girls still tease u?"
Renee : "yes, but not as much as to another boy, he's the shortest"
Mommy : "Oh man, these people are really mean, it's not nice to tease people like that"
Renee : "ya mommy, I want to call them giraffe trees, since they call me shorty pants"
Mommy : "oh can I call u 'shorty pants' too?"
Renee : "No!"
Mommy : "why not? I find it rather cute"
Renee : "No"
Mommy : "Ok..." "anyway, don't bother about these people ok? what's wrong with being a little shorter, it's more important to be smart, that's why you have to study/work hard, ya?"
Renee : "ok mommy"
