Surprised him

“Kids don’t normally say “hi” to me.” ~ Older gentleman at Dunkin Donuts
This morning after dropping the older girls off at school Mimi, Paul and I went to get donuts. We were standing in line waiting for our turn and Mimi and Paul befriended the man behind me. I didn’t turn around to talk to him but Paul and Mimi were talking. (I am not a morning person and honestly my kids talk to a lot of people while waiting in line so unless the person talks to me I just stand there.) The gentleman said the above sentence and I turned around to responded to him. I smiled and told him that they are friendly like that. He was a very sweet man and went on to chat with the kids.
I had to laugh when I got in the car later. The guy was a long haired hippie looking gentleman. My kids have a Grandfather who is a long haired hippie so this didn’t startle them.
I am so glad that my children are not judgmental about people’s appearances. There are certainly people out there to be leary of but you generally cannot tell that from the outside anyhow.
