We’ve all had those days when we feel a little down, but imagine having a child call you ugly while you’re just trying to get some grocery shopping done. That’s exactly what happened to a 22-year-old woman, who couldn’t help but cry after a young girl made the hurtful comment. The woman’s roommates, however, thought she was overreacting and should have just left the store. So, was her reaction justified or just plain dramatic? Let’s dive into the story.
