Sitting at our table, Kyleigh kept stealing glances at a grandmother type person behind her. As that table of diners got up and walked by our table, the woman waved at my children and said, "Bye, bye!"
I am not a fan of strangers or strange people chatting up my children.
Once they had passed, Jacob leaned over to me...
"Mommy," he whispered. "I didn't wave at those people because I didn't know them; they were strangers. And you're not supposed to talk to strangers."
That's my son! I was so proud.

I have enjoyed catching up with your adventures over the last few weeks...and the beach images are fabulous!!
Sounds like your young padawan learner has been excelling in the force!
My kiddies are social butterflies, which is an absolute nightmare anytime we go in public because they want to "meet" everyone! I'll have to keep with my jedi training a little longer.
P.S. Sorry for all the Star Wars talk. Hubs watches the marathons on a regular basis of the episodes and the History Channel just had a documentary...OK, I better stop now!
It's always nice to see that they ARE paying attention to what you're saying to them and teaching them, even when you don't think they are!
Well done, Jacob! He did just the right thing.
That said, I'm usually the person at the next table who smiles at the kid across the way. I won't usually start conversations with strangers' kids, though.
wahaha funny!
I'm loving Natalie up there and all her Star Wars speak! My boys, too, will chat with whoever... whenever... wherever. The come by it *ahem* quite naturally! =) So... I have bestowed upon you the Zombie Chicken Award. Laugh! Please do. It is funny. Pop round my blog for a description! Cheers!
