Rachael,

I agree with everything you posted including the flaunting it. The reason that I did it was because he had already been staring for about 5 minutes and I was getting somewhat perturbed. Neither children or adults should just stand and stare. At his age he should have known better. I felt like he was trying to make me feel embarassed about what I was doing. I should also have known better and just ignored him rather than allowing his staring to get under my skin. When I was growing up. children were not allowed to stare.
