I would not use the same words that she used because we are two different people, just as you and she are two different people. You have the right to explain your positions with the words that you choose. May you never regret the words you speak.

Your position confuses me.
Are you encouraging children to speak their mind using any words they choose?
That's not my position. I think words matter and it's important to respect your elders. When they are older they will understand that life is a rite of passage and until you are of a certain age, until you have met many people that are different than you and until you have seen other places than your home you will not understand the meaning of "putting yourself into someone else,s shoes".
