Things that make me say UGH!

OK so this weekend we were at the Wisconsin Dells, at a HUGE indoor waterpark.  Teddy loves water, we were with my entire family, and 59 families from our church.  I was feeling very "safe" with Teddy, because I knew we would have lots of help and support.  However, there were lots of "other" people at the waterpark as well.....One outsider saw me using Teddy's wheel chair to move a moutain of towels, flip flops and other gear to the area where Teddy was and commented that a wheel chair was a great Handcart, and did I get the chair from the Goodwill for this purpose.....and then another outsider thought I should be chastised for NOT parking in a handicapp spot, and taking up a "good able bodied spot".  I explained I didn't have the child who needed accessible parking with me, so I wasn't parking there...I was cussed at!  When is nature going to weed out all of the stupid people?

yeh, we've gotten some pretty amazing comments too. Almost every single time we go out someone asks us "so, does he have asthma?" And I just sit there thinking "it would be a doozy of a case to make him o2 dependent and in a wheelchair."
