Kids rock! As for their parents...

After a weekend of much needed house cleaning and yard work, we spent the afternoon shopping at Trader Joe's and Target. Caitlin LOVES Trader Joe's. We tend to zoom around and pop a lot of wheelies while we're there. I think it's due to all of the free coffee in my system. :-)

For whatever reason, there were a lot of little girls Cait's age at the store today. Caitlin tends to attract stares. This can bother us when it comes from adults, but we're pretty cool about it from other kids. As we were traveling down the dairy aisle, a little girl was really boring into Cait with her eyes. When we got closer, she said to Caitlin, "How nice it is to see you."

How awesome was that? She then turned to her mom and asked, "Why is that girl sitting in a chair?"

The mom looked like she wanted to grab her daughter and run to the hills. She sputtered and I responded, "That's Caitlin's wheelchair. She can't walk yet."

The girl then got closer to Cait and said, "I really like your Hannah Montana shirt."

Cait just lit up. The mom sputtered a bit more, looked at us with pity, and said, "Come on, we need to get going."

Why can't parents be as cool as their kids?
