My Son Lifted a Saleswoman’s Skirt Screaming, ‘Mommy, Look! That’s Why She’s Angry!’
It was an ordinary Saturday morningâthe kind that held a promise of simple pleasures and family time.
“Madeline,” my husband said as he poured himself some coffee, “we’ll leave after breakfast, okay?”
I nodded while cooking an omelet for him and our four-year-old son, Sam. It wasn’t anything specialâwe were just going to go out and get fruit for the week and replace our broken vacuum cleaner. But what I didn’t know was that beneath the surface of this ordinary outing, a story was brewing, one that would shatter my reality of life as I knew it.

At the store, Ryan wandered off to the electronics section while Sam and I headed to look at vacuums. I approached a saleswoman to inquire about a high-end vacuum I had spotted online.
The saleswoman looked me up and down. “This vacuum?” she asked, pointing to the one I was inquiring about.
“Yes,” I replied. “And does it come in any other colors?”

“It’s extremely expensive, you don’t look like you can afford it,” she sneered, looking me up and down with disdain again. She eyed my son, too. It was like she had seen him before, but couldn’t quite place him.
Her words stung, but before I could even muster a reply, Sam let go of my dress and darted to the woman.
Her disdain stung, but before I could respond, Sam darted toward her, lifted her skirt, and exclaimed, “Look, Mommy, look! That’s why she’s angry!”
