...only ugly people get sick.

While conversing with a group of people that enjoy insulting each other, one of them mentioned that he had been sick lately. Sensing I could relate to his situation, I remarked that my kid was currently not feeling well. Overhearing my comment, someone passing by sympathetically stated, "Oh, but he's so cute." Thinking that was a major burn to me and my family, the others in the conversation looked at me as if to say, "That was harsh" or "You need to yell something back to them." Trying not to become a part of the "degradation club", I promptly exited the discussion.
