[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I wouldn't ignore it. It sounds like you know the mom better than the dad. I'd send her an email saying your DD enjoyed playing with her DD, but said she had a weird interaction with DD's dad. Then tell the mom what your DD said she heard. Give her a way to save face, but make it clear that you were not willing to sweep it under the rug. Something like, "Hopefully Larla heard him wrong. That's obviously a racist and insulting word -- and a hurtul way to describe our family's heritage. We've told Larla it's not ok for her to use that word and no one should be using it to describe her, either." I'd do it in email to avoid putting the other mom on the spot. It gives her time to think about it before/if she chooses to respond. [/quote]
