hello~

in general!

i have noticed lately how kids tend to generalize things. lump everything into a category that they feel is appropriate.

we went to look at a house the other day and there was an Amish man there who was doing some repairs.

cullan walked right up to him and said "HELLO FARMER!"

i guess cullan thought that was what group he fell into.

then very loudly as most children seem to whisper he says

"mom you see that FARMER"

i looked back at the nice Amish man who was smiling and said yes i do.

one more example.

today at the grocery store i had all three kids with me doing some shopping.

i think every elderly person in our town was there.

it was pretty busy. all of a sudden from the front of my cart. (it was one of the carts that has a car that the kids can drive hooked on the front.)

anyways like i said from the front of my cart all of a sudden i hear...

"excuse me grandma....honk honk...excuse me grandmas!!!!!
