I've had so many of these, here are just a few:
- I went to get a new lighter to use to light our oven with. I went to James Store, this crazy store right by campus that is just packed full of the most random things, most of it just really looks like junk. I asked for help to find a lighter because it is nearly impossible to find anything in there without help. The store worker took me back and found the lighters and proceeded to try at least 12 lighters before he found one that worked to give to me to buy. What did he do with the 11 reject lighters that didn't actually work? Put them right back in the shelf, for some poor, unsuspecting customer to buy.
- When we are out in even the tiniest amount of rain (you know the kind that is falling so softly that you hardly notice it) locals will always stop me to tell me to cover up my baby. Even sometimes when I have the rain cover over the stroller they will stop to tell me to keep my baby dry. I want to say, "You do know he gets wet when I bathe him right?" I don't know why they are so concerned about babies getting wet, but they are. I just don't think that if Chase little legs get wet from a little light rain in 80 degree weather is not going to hurt him. He doesn't seem to mind.
- Locals always think Chase is a girl. I really don't know how they mistake my handsome little man as a girl, but I get told that I have a beautiful daughter a lot. And I think every outfit he owns is blue. It's still a mystery to me. Doesn't he just look like a little boy?
Maybe it's because they think he's a girl that the locals worry about the rain and the baby being covered up... just reassure them that he's a man and he can handle the water and then move on with your life ;).
ReplyDeleteAs funny as this might sound...I think all three of those things could happen just about anywhere!
