Done

Well, after 9 am I did call and talk to the pool manager. She apologized, which I didn't want her to do, as it wasn't her. We talked a while (I'm sure you can imagine...), and I told her the whole story. I said that I would give him the benefit of the doubt that for some reason he thought that by cheering, he was making light of the situation, and thereby possible deflecting her disappointment in herself. But, when the manager said to me that I could "help" the situation by relaying that thought to Emily, that what he did was meant to help and not insult, I said, in no uncertain terms, that I definitely would NOT do that. I told her I had no idea what his intentions were. I told her that HE could tell Emily what his intentions were. I said he could tell me what his intentions were. From my viewpoint, and Emily's, his intentions were to poke fun. I made that clear, I think. I made sure she knew that I expected her to talk to him about reacting to a child in such a manner that it could be seen as being disrespectful, even if that was not the intention...I figure it's a learning experience for this kid. But don't do it anymore.
