We were in the the Fossil store in Perimeter Mall & there were 2 dwarfs/little people sitting & waiting for their shopping companion. My son walked over to one & promptly poked her in the face because, as he said, he "wanted to see if she was real." Luckily, they weren't offended by it & proceeded to play with him even though, at 4 yrs old, he was taller than they were.<br /><br />Now that he's 8, I tell him that it's not polite to stare at people. If there is something that seems off to him about someone, I tell him to ask me about it. If I don't know, sometimes I'll walk him over to the person & have him ask them. Not to be nosey but to be more informative about their situation. <br /><br />ShericeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32156383.post-89488880005136588562011-08-04T13:58:28.297-06:002011-08-04T13:58:28.297-06:00A) That is a very astute observation for a 4-year-...A) That is a very astute observation for a 4-year-old.

Not really the same in terms of embarrassment, but in line at the grocery store one day, my oldest son (probably four at the time) said loudly "Daddy! - why do white people only buy brown bread and brown people only buy white bread?"Glenn B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32156383.post-81972573119797009222011-08-01T15:32:37.880-06:002011-08-01T15:32:37.880-06:00Excellent idea, Mirko.
