Indifference

What is it with people? Why are people so horribly insensitive?  I just got back from getting Graham's haircut. For most parents of an almost 4 year old, this probably isn't a stressful situation. But for me, it is. I should have known better.  I should have known not to try a new place without being able to transition Graham into it.  Ironically, Graham's behavior wasn't out of line... the person cutting his hair was cold, impatient, but most of all, indifferent. I was mortified with her demeanor. I almost took him out mid-haircut, grabbed Grayson and left. I didn't though. Stupidly, I didn't want to "hurt" her feelings-- even though she was so indifferent to Graham. Am I always going to have to "screen" people and places?  Am I always going to have to shield him from the indifference of those who won't look beyond the behaviors to the heart of an incredibly intelligent, sweet boy? Lord, help me if this is what You've called me to... I'm not sure I've got it in me-- so if this is it, You are going to have to provide. I hope tomorrow is better.
