And having found so much beauty and wonder in nature, you still can't find some kindness in your heart to not take something important away from someone else?[/quote]

You make it sound like OP grabbed a child and said, "Hey! Kid! Santa is a big fraud, and your parents are lying to you!"

Whereas the reality (as reported by OP) is that OP was somewhere talking to OP's child, and an adult told OP to watch out and be careful with what OP says, in case a child were listening.[/quote]

If she was speaking loud another for the woman to hear, then she was speaking loud enough for a nearby child to hear.  Maybe OP shouldn't speak so loudly.[/quote]

In the future, I will whisper whenever I am in public and talking about something that might upset a small child who might be in earshot and might be listening. [/quote]

Me too. Which eliminates pretty much all topics of conversation except the weather and the color of the sky. But what do I do if a color-blind child might be in earshot? Will he be upset when I tell my kid that the sky is blue, but he has always perceived it purple?! Or maybe he is blind and it upsets him to hear about colors that he will never see? I guess I will just not say anything to my child at all, if we aren't sealed in our house or car.[/quote]

Oh don't be stupid.   You can't foresee every potential hurt.  But you can obviously foresee this one, so if you're a nice person you don't say it loud enough for a kid to hear.   This just isn't hard. [/quote]

WHY DO YOU HATE BLIND CHILDREN?!?!  It's just general kindness, after all.

This, and the participation trophies, I swear to god.[/quote]
