Trying not to get angry at co-worker

[jpo]

As I kept thinking about this, I realized that it was the comment about my son that got me a little angry. I don't know why, but it really got me steaming when the two were making fun of him. I think it is so cool that my son comes up to me and says, "Dada, I want a kilt!" I guess that is what made me more upset. I can handle it with me, but not my family.

I was going to say, when he went after your kid that is when things go unacceptable. The jokes about you were simply pathetic, not particularly offensive, but when they go after your kids thats not cool.

I feel like taking him aside and saying something about what he said about your son is the best course of action. It is hard to get to people who think that calling it a skirt is the best thing ever, but pointing out that he was insulting your kid might get through his thick skull.

Good luck, and just remember, when you argue with a fool, passersby can't tell who is the idiot.
