Let the fun begin! The first of many ways to keep Gianni out of the presents!

Sigh... I wish that the parents of kids in the kids' schools, scouts, etc would stop forwarding me these multi-forwarded politically charged messages. I appreciate the intention and message behind the religious & inspirational ones. And, I sometimes enjoy the cute & funny ones.
But, the political ones really make me uncomfortable, especially if I don't agree with them. I want to respond, to clarify, to speak my mind when I read them. But, I really don't want to engage in a political debate with them, knowing that we will need to interact with each other at school & scout events. So, most of the time, I try to not let them affect the way I feel about the parent or their children. And, I try to hold my tongue, not reply, not even read them if I can fight the curiosity...
Today, I didn't hold my tongue. Oh, I was polite, but I certainly made it clear that I didn't agree with the message or the intention in this email. Then, I apologized to Annie, letting her know that she might not be invited to this parent's daughters' birthday parties anymore. And, told her that I hope that the daughter's nice to her once they get to high school.
