Best Friends
I just love this recent picture of JR and her best friend!
They grew up together from infancy in home daycare. Poor underprivileged kids, their mommies had to work and all they got to do was play together all day! Yeah, their growth and social skills were REALLY hurt by the fact that they had working mothers--can't you just see it in their faces?
Sorry for the sarcasm, but a lot of women HAVE to work for a living, and I firmly believe that if you have good quality daycare, children will thrive. The problem is there is so little funding and regulation for daycare and there IS a lot of bad daycare out there. On the other hand, there's a lot of bad parenting too.....
By the way, their daycare provider was Afghani and Muslim and for those of you ignorant enough to stereotype Muslims on the basis of what terrorists do in the name of their religion, I wish you could meet Saida and her family. Some of the most loving people it has ever been my luck to know!
Though the girls go to different schools now, they are still close as sisters. In fact, the Man sometimes tells people that they are HALF-sisters, which gets him some very strange looks.....................
