I'll Take That

A sweet elderly gentleman told me that my "brother and sister are such cuties" while standing in line at the store the other day.

Um, brother and sister?

I looked over my shoulder and then over the other shoulder to see what he was talking about.

No brothers or sisters within 6 hours of me.

Only Ella and Ezra.

My children.

I laughed out loud (quite awkwardly loud I admit) and corrected the gentleman and explained, "Oh no, these are my kids!"

He seemed genuinely surprised at my correction.

I couldn't help but keep smiling for at least an hour afterward.

Is it bad to have your ego boosted by a seventy-something year old man?

When my oldest three were little, I was accused of being the babysitter. I loved those comments. I haven't gotten those comments in a long time so guess they must know they are ALL mine..even the ones that don't look like me. :)
