That she did not intend disrespect but was just trying to say that she wanted to talk to her mommy. So with both of you seeing it that way, I think I can safely go "phew!" I am so glad that it was not a major disrespect issue :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289121058613962393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141494108042579772.post-79716575080176995912010-05-27T07:56:11.271-05:002010-05-27T07:56:11.271-05:00Not my area of expertise, obviously, but I tend to...Not my area of expertise, obviously, but I tend to think she knew what she was saying but not that it was rude or disrespectful.<br /><br />I think this for two reasons, the first that she apologized readily once she had it explained to her, but mostly because from your reaction, she's done nothing <i>remotely</i> like this in the past.<br /><br />It seems to me that if she was intending to be rude, the intent would have surfaced before this in a less significant fashion.<br /><br />I suspect that she wanted to convey that she really wanted to talk to you not to her Memaw, and used a phrase she'd heard in that sort of context. That's the way kids seem to work in trying out new language, in my, admittedly limited, experience. (shrug)<br /><br />Just my 2¢, might actually be<br />worth about that too. :)NatChhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506294593883672989noreply@blogger.com
