That would have been me too! I would probably inspire the class leader to keep a roll of duct tape handy as well! Good for you for speaking up!

Man, I wanted to say so much more... but I couldn't I just got too choked up. It took everything in me to keep from bursting into tears. I don't think I could have spoken another word... my voice was breaking at the end but I knew I just had to inform these ladies... I had to.

You go girl! I would definately point out to anyone who says they are planning on doing it that the majority in our state are NOT circ'd. My ds is 8 and only 2 of his friends are circ'd-even in his class of 17 boys only 2 were circ'd (according to his teacher-unfortunately some of the other boys were making fun of the circ'd boys, go fig). And of course my new little dude is intact and will remain so.

Yay! That would be difficult for me, too. Nice work!

Love this quote!

I'm glad you spoke up. You may have planted a seed.

I think you did a great job & you were brave! It's hard for me to bring it up with people I know, I couldn't imagine a room full of strangers. If anything, it got people thinking. And if they actually give it some thought, that could save a little boy.

good for you for saying something!! : i'm so emotional in general so when it comes to something i am really passionate about it's so hard to express my opinion without tearing up, getting red, cracking throat.

little seeds, plant them whenever & however
