Love this! I am not Muslim, but I appreciate you and your sense of humor navigating post 9/11 hate hysteria. Can’t resist an old joke; I agree there is no Santa Claus, because the Easter bunny told me so!
Pressure from a male she’s not married to? All kinds of wrong. Nobody else’s business but theirs. Of course, busybodies will always comment, but this is between Toni and Brad, and Toni should say so.
Conspiracy kooks love this! No decent school has scheduled hugging! Boundaries are taught in kindergarten. That sitting around stuff is made up, of course if it’s set in a state where education of children isn’t funded, then I’d believe it; not enough qualified teachers to oversee the kids. Board of Ed couldn’t afford the lawsuit.
Ruthie will be a wonderful caregiver after school when she gets older. She can spell mom and dad with bathing, medications, diapers, etc. in case he becomes infirm and needs help and watched over. Socializing with people who are his peers and having opportunities for fun and stimulating activities with them to foster a sense of independence and dignity once he can’t fully take care of himself isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. It’s a choice. Emphasis on choice. Kudos to Cylene’s parents for making sure she visits her grandparent(s) and is obviously engaged in what goes on in assisted living facilities for those who need professional assistance. Maybe it will inspire her to become one of those angels who work their tails off to make sure grandpa and gramma are cared for properly.
