Ok, so Gage has been in the "why" stage for a while now. He is constantly asking why about anything and everything! I have gotten used to it and don't mind answering his why's. However today we turned over a new page in the mind of Gage.......
The first time......ok wait let me set the scene a little for you. I have been in Walmart for about 25 minutes with BOTH kids, now to some of you this may be no big deal......but most of you with 2 small children understand what I am saying and 25 minutes in Walmart with 2 kids is STRESSFUL! MacKenna has pulled her ponytail out of her hair and now has a nice curly mowhawk, taken her shoes and socks off, smashed the bread, and pooped in her diaper (I have no wipes with me). Nice I know....Ok so we are almost done and I have been waiting for about 6-8 minutes for someone to cut a piece of fabric, apparently no one that works at walmart knows how to do this. Finally a male employee comes over to cut it for us. I am so glad we are almost done and then Gage says in a not quiet voice......."Hey momma, how come that man doesn't have very much hair?" I was stunned! Gage never does this. I wasn't quite sure what to say and the man didn't look up from cutting so I simply told Gage to sit down and be quite because we were almost done. So now louder than before he says...."Momma, why does his hair look like that?" So now the man looks up and gives me a rude look and hands me my fabric, we walk off and I explain to Gage that he shouldn't ask stuff like that when the person is standing right there. I told him that God makes us all different and people might get there feelings hurt if we talk about them. He says ok, sorry momma and we leave walmart.
The second time........We are at Taco Bell. We had just left church and Chad was in Houston, so the kids and I just drove thru to grab a bite on the way home. The kids are in the back watching the wiggles, and I am paying for our food. While the lady has her head out the window giving me the change, Gage yells (cause he is in the back seat and wants to make sure I hear him) "hey momma.....Is that a boy or a girl?" I am so glad we were in the car! I just took the change and drove up. Again, I tried to explain to him that he shouldn't ask me things about people in front of them.
I hope this is not a new stage he has entered......because it is soooo embarrassing! I told Chad what had happened when he got home last night and he seemed to think it was very funny and wanted all the details again and again, so if it does happen again, I am hoping he is with Chad!
