Today the family was out shopping, and we had the twin girls in the shopping buggy... one of my girls is almost getting to the point were she is to big to be in the buggy but she is also the one that loves to oOooo and ahhhhhh at everything and anything! So IN the buggy she goes!
Here we are shopping along when an older man ... I am going to say 65-70 came up and started chatting up my girls. Man: "Hi girls" (as my son stands ideally by) Girls: "Hi" (in that twin voice that they can pull off sometimes) Man: "How old are you girls?"Girls: "Six" (again in that same twin voice) Man: "Oh You girls are Twins?" At first I thought nothing of it (trying to have a new insight and see the good in people) but then hair stood up on the back of my neck, I felt like a Momma cat ready to Hiss and Bat. I looked at the Old Man then looked at the girls, shooting a look to my husband (a look he knows all to well). Thankfully my husband steps in and starts talking to the Man ...which leads to the man into wondering away. As I suck in my breath and point something out to the girls, with the help of my son we pulled the girls attention to what we were doing.
Now here I was trying to sleep and I am thinking to my self as I replay in my head what went down....
If that was an older lady in the same age group, I would have thought nothing of it .... I think....Does that make me sexist?
If that man would have greeted me/hubby/ and son would I still have gotten upset?
Why am I letting myself lose sleep over it?
I know I love that my children are friendly....maybe I should have a talk with them again....
All These Thoughts are running Loudly in my head Right now....
So let me ask You my dear Readers... What's your thoughts?
