Hangrid Trash

First Slip Up

We picked Naomi up from school and she came out crying. Ingrid and I looked at each other in shock! She never cries, only when she's ill!
"What's wrong honey?!" I said as Ingrid and I knelt down with our arms held out.
"A boy called Dominic is being horrible to me." Naomi said, her voice muffled from our hug.
"Let's go into the car and have a proper conversation when we get back home, Nao, so you can have time to think about it and to be relieved he's not  there." Ingrid explained to Naomi.

We hopped in the car and I started driving as Nao sobbed her little heart out.
"Good girl, Nao. Let those tears out!" Ingrid said patting her leg. Naomi sobbed harder and harder as we got home. We parked the car.

I burst the door open as Ingrid and Nao followed behind me, shutting the door. Ingrid sat Nao down on the sofa and cuddled her.
"You'll be ok my lovely. If you did something wrong as well, we won't be angry. It will be ok love." Ingrid whispered, stroking her hair and brushing it.

I brought in some snacks and started cooking some pizza for us all to eat.
"Han! Can you just come and sit with Nao for a bit? I'll just be a second!" Ingrid shouted into the kitchen.
"Of course!"
I sat down by Naomi and scooped her up in a cuddle and kissed her forehead. She sobbed and ate Doritos. Ingrid came down with a duvet and some comfy clothes for Naomi and some comfy clothes for Ingrid and I. We all put the comfy clothes on. I picked six year old Naomi up and sat her in the middle of the sofa. Making machine noises I, wrapped the duvet around Naomi. She giggled.
"You're so funny, Mom!" We smiled. It was Ingrid, Naomi and I against the world.

*ping* that's the pizza! I slid into the kitchen and fell over.
"Are you okay, baby?!" Ingrid said.
"I'm fine!" I replied.
Naomi and Ingrid looked at me and back at each other and laughed. I got some plates and cut the pizza up and served them up on plates to each of us.

"Naomi, what happened? Neither of us will think you're bad and we won't be mean or strict back, okay?"
"Okay, Mommy."
We looked at her and stroked her hair and put our hand on her knee.
"There's a boy called Dominic in my class- Dom. He called me a "bitch". I dunno what that means mommy and mom. I know it's really rude though."
Ingrid and I looked at each other. "Why did he say that, Nao?" I asked.
"He said it was because I was ""the daughter of homosexuals- the devil.""
I said to him that mommy and mom are lovely and take good care of me but he called me a ""fag"" whatever that means." Naomi cried.
Ingrid started to cry.
"Mommy don't cry, please! I feel bad because I slapped him because he was being rude about you and Mom and then he said ""don't touch me, you dirty shit!"" I ran off and cried. I didn't go to last class so the teachers looked for me and found me behind the tree crying. They forced me back in and told me off. They asked me why I didn't come to the lesson but I didn't tell them because I didn't want to tell him off and I didn't want it to happen again."
We all cuddled up as we cried together. "Okay, Nao. A bitch means a female dog, a fag is an offensive word for a gay man and a dirty shit is a dirty poo. Don't use any of this language because it's very rude, okay." I told, Nao.
"Well done, Nao. You coped very well. Mom and I hoped this wouldn't happen but now it has. It's ok, Nao. Don't feel bad it's not your fault at all. Don't feel like you're the one to blame. You shouldn't hit people or skip lessons but we won't be mean to you because we respect and love you." Ingrid cried.
"We'll sort it out, Nao. Okay?"
"Okay. Mom, do you still love me?"
This broke my heart. I started to cry.
"Of course I still love you." I cuddled her and held her hand. We all cuddled up together and texted her Uncles, Joey and Daniel.
I- do u want to come over? Nao is very upset and so are we because of a very homophobic boy in her class.
J- oh no! I'll bring spirited away and watch it with u all!
D- we'll be over any second now!

Joey and Daniel came in and surprised, Nao with a big hug and Spirited Away! They sat on the other couch as Ingrid and I cuddled up to Naomi. It was 6:30 and the film had ended. Joey and Daniel had to leave.
"Thanks for coming!" Naomi shouted and we all giggled.
"Thanks for having us!" Joey said back as he and Daniel knelt down to give her a hug. They left and we put Naomi to bed at 7:00. We read her a story, e-mailed the teachers and went to bed at 10:00.
