Stranger danger.

Jaime enters Walmart and heads straight for the greeting cards. This is the only thing on her list. "Buy a card." She checks her list of "Junk to do" just to make sure. Yes. That is all that she needs to purchase. She peruses the cards. Mostly duds. She finds herself in the little kid cards, this is right up her intelligence level.

A mom with her son (approximately 4 years old) are looking for a card as well.

The mom picks up a card and reads it. Then closes it to reread it to her son.

Random mom: "Happy Birthday Brother" [she opens the card] "You're the coolest!" That is a good one. You can get this card for your brother.

Kid: Uhhhh..... but he isn't cool.

Random mom: Yes he is. Be nice.

Kid: No mom. I am cool. And he...he just isn't...

Jaime: You've gotta respect the honesty.

Random mom: [silence and awkward stare. 1 one thousand 2 one thousand 3 one thousand] We will just get this one. [Mom pushes the cart out of the aisle.]


Kid: We shouldn't. I am telling you... HE ISN'T COOL!!!



I, for one, believe the kid!



Here is a little gem that I found and thought was AMAZING! So applicable to so many families...
