Large or Just Plain Fat
Kids are taught political correctness at school, right? I mean, when one of my younger ones reported that one of the teachers was getting fatter (I mean, not fat as in "maybe putting on a few punds," more like, "400 pounds that you can't hide behind a moo-moo" fat. My son, who's a couple of years older, chastised her with: "She's not fat; she's large." Okay, what's that supposed to do, hide the fat that she's morbidly obese? Is it a way of saying, "Yes, she's heavier than most, but ya never know, who's to say that extra 275 pounds isn't all bone, muscle, and 3% body fat. Yeah, right. Face reality people. It doesn't bite. Ignoring is does. And while I do want my kids to be polite and sensitive to other's feelings, I don't want them to grow up being so PC that they can't grasp reality.
