“What’s a pretty little girl like you doing in a wheelchair?”

I was recently in a burn accident and my leg is in bandages.

My parents were helping me into our van outside the hospital when this older man walked by and said, “What’s a pretty little girl like you doing in a wheelchair?” and he winked at me before he went inside the hospital.

It was just really creepy.

Like my leg is any of his business.

Or just that he called me a “pretty little girl”… yeah, I really like to be referred to as a child and demoted to someone who’s incapable, yknow?
