Inquiring minds often wonder why people do the things they do...wear the things that they wear...say the things that they say. But, "usually", we never verbally express our questions or concerns. Because most of the time...IT'S NOT OUR BUSINESS.
Well..."couth" is something most kids are not familiar with! Whenever they want to question something or someone...it's blurted out without giving it a second thought; matters not who's listening or if the person(s) they are questioning is in their presence.
Case in point...
While dining at the local Waffle House, the kid notices a person wearing "flip-flops" who has intentionally (or not) taken one of them off. He says (loudly): "Mommy, that man doesn't have his shoes on!"
Instead of following my first mind and saying: "That's not your business."
Mommy says: "Really? He needs to put his shoes back on."
a minute or two passes...the man puts his shoes on...then Mommy notices he takes them off again. So Mommy says to the kid (quietly):
"That man has taken his shoes off again."
The kid says: "Mommy, that's not your business!!!!"
Mommy agrees (reluctantly) and wonders what just happened!!! Walked right into that one...(sigh)!
We've now entered into a "new" phase...
The kid wants to wear shirts and ties and/or complete suit combinations to church...EVERY SUNDAY! What happened to suits at EASTER only?!
Prior to his birthday, all of his suits and ties were too little. So, each Sunday, we'd "argue" about him not being able to DRESS LIKE DADDY! First of all, why was Mommy "arguing" with a 3 year-old? And secondly, who would have thought that a 3 year-old would demand to wear suits and ties?!
Anyway...thank God for loving Aunts and Uncles! They've acknowledged the kid's request and gifted him with a variety of shirt and tie combinations that he can now wear on a weekly basis...at least until he outgrows them LOL!
