"Stop your crying, you big baby you", she said to the little girl."Or else I'll tape your mouth shut!"
The girl was stunned - and as her eyes filled with tears, she didn't know what to say.
She was embarrased, scared and hurt all in one.
That lady will never know that those words HURT!
*This 55 was a reflection of a news report I heard today about a woman actually taping a kids mouth shut...

Very moving 55...
I'm so glad that this didn't happen to you.
Thank you so much for remembering what day this is..:P
Please have a Wonderful Week-End..G
Cruel. Although there are kids whose mouths I wish could be taped--at school! But in reality, a harsh punishment. Never had it happen to me. And I love to talk-so, good thing! D
I guess some people should not have kids. What a poignant picture, is there any story behind it?
I've taped my own mouth shut occasionally- for the good of society...
ugh! i hate stories like that. great 55, lulda.
Thanks all for the comments...thank goodness this did not ever happen to me...I was a quiet child, but made up for it now! :D More than one person in my life has told me to "shut up"! LOL
Just found the right pic to go with this 55...thanks to the internet! ;)
Why people do such things, I'll never understand.
oh, so sad. and yet so many kids have to harden themselves.
My stomach dropped through the floor when this story started out.
Aptly title Lulda. A sad tale.
Abuse of children and animals are the worst. They have no choices.
Some adults don't seem to understand what potential they have for doing damage to children. A sensitive write! :)
