Horrible Hairiness

I am a hairy person, I have hair on the back of my hands and fingers and have a very thick head of hair. Johan is the same. Unfortunately Sam seems to have got our general hairiness x 2 - luckily she is fair so they do not show so much - but it has not escaped the notice of some horrible bullies at her school. They apparently accost her, plucking the hair on her arms, teasing her and saying that her mother must be a gorilla, her father a chimpanzee etc - causing her great distress. Now it is one thing to be teased yourself, but to hear how your child is being taunted is like a knife to the heart - it really tears you apart when they are so upset. So apart from wanting to find the bullies and tear them apart limb from limb, I've told her to laugh at them - hopefully they will then realise that it is no fun for them anymore and leave her alone!
