Wednesday, August 17, 2005InnocenceI know that kids are more perceptive than we ever give them credit for, but sometimes they seem to be completely oblivious. We have been having quite a tough time of it financially and emotionally lately, but my kids, thankfully, have no idea. Yesterday my husband and I were feeling a bit low, but we had some errands to run. As we entered one particular store, we were the only customers in the place. My 4 year old daughter decided that all of the helpers were her new best friends. She entertained them all while we did our shopping. I could always hear what she was saying and they all found it quite amusing. You see, she has no reservations about telling complete strangers all about her life. She tells them about her Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and even the dogs. At first, the customer service people were just nodding and saying the typical "uh huh" of someone disinterested. However, as the time wore on, she won them over. After about ten minutes, all we could hear from the corner where my blonde bomb shell of a daughter had set up camp was loud laughter. She was entertaining them all and loving every minute. As we finished our shopping and went to collect her from her new friends, we were met with comments from the adults like "do you have to go?" or "awe, she was just getting to the good part". She even had some of them singing silly kid's songs! All of them invited us to come back again because they loved my daughter. She will always be the life of the party. I can't help but remember the days of innocence when I was a child. I miss the time in which my biggest worry was what was for lunch. I am happy to be the mommy now, and I pray that my girls can remain innocent as long as possible. It makes for a much happier world.
