Ok I'll be good.
Not that she never does, she always does. I was visiting her house this weekend, they are selling their home and I went there to help them pack and go through things. At the end of the evening on Saturday night, she started talking to me about a TV show she was watching, I think it was the reality show with the airline. Anyway she said that there was a woman that had traveled and on the way BACK from her trip she was told that she would have to purchase an additional seat. The woman was perplexed seeing as how she already traveled without having to purchase a second seat. Anyway the airline found another carrier that would accomedate her, however the original ticket was pruchased by her mothers credit card so they refunded the credit card and there was no way to purchase the flight at the other carrier. They left the woman with no way home or any accomidations.
My mother said she was horrified that something like this would actually happen and that she didnt realize that things like that did happen. I have to admit Ive never mentioned it. I mean I try not to discuss the BS that I deal with to my mom. It would just make her sad. Anyway. My mothers comment was and Ive heard this before from many people but my mom is not up on size acceptance issues, but she said, "It seems as if being over weight is the last acceptable prejudice that our society is allowed to have without being held responsable for their actions." She also added. "It's a damn shame".
I felt happy that she has these realizations however, It bothered me that I've never really brought it to her attention or anyone elses how I feel about these unfair prejudices. It makes me think I should be far more outspoken than I am, if my mother had to watch a reality show to realize what happens to people of size on a regular basis than Im not doing myself justice.
GO MOM !!!!!!
