Safety First!!!

Dylan is addicted to these little guys called "U.B. Funkies" and they are used to play on the computer. I am amazed at how well he knows how to handle them since they are for ages 8 and up. So anyways, I picked Dylan up from school and he had some birthday money that he wanted to spend along with some gift cards to target (he got $410.00 for his birthday, but I only let him spend $10.00, am I mean or what?). So we went to target and we went inside, he picked out what he wanted and I bought some gifts for my nephew who is turning 8 on saturday. We went and paid and out the door we went. Caydence was riding in the carriage and Dylan was nicely walking through the parking lot holding onto the carriage right up until we got to the car. There was a nice looking elderly couple who seemed to be going the same places we were. They followed behind us to the car and I told Dylan, go around and get in on your side while I put Caydence in. While I am getting her out of the carriage, the old man said, "I heard all that racket your little girl was making in there, and you still bought toys?" What racket was she making??? I am not sure, b/c they were well behaved. So I told him... "wasn't my kids." They were great... well his nice little wife still standing there like I'm their business, says, "you know you shouldn't let him get in the car on his own...that's not safe, safety should always be number one." Well you shouldn't be sticking your nose where it doesn't belong... take your cane and keep it moving. For those of you who don't know me, when you start coaching my parenting, you are just adding fuel to my fire... WATCH OUT! So I said, "lady he is 6 years old... he is perfectly capable of doing it SAFELY. Here's the sticker... Caydence wearing a pair of blue jeans, a 3/4" length sleeved shirt with a glittery bow on it and cute little pigtails she is 100% girl. Well the old lady just stands there then she looks at me, then at Caydence, then at me... and I finally said, "Problem with how I am putting her in, am I putting SAFETY FIRST?" She goes, "oh you're doing a great job mom, I just love how beautiful your little boy is... isn't that a cute little boy honey?" WHAT? Did you say boy? Did you just say that my daughter with pigtails is a boy? Okay, you little old hobbit... I don't know which one of ya is driving...but someone needs their eyes checked... I am thinking maybe a cab too? So they told me to have a nice day... and I reminded the little old blind couple who can't tell a boy from a girl, to drive with SAFETY FIRST... SO CALL A CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't ya just want to knock people out who stick their little noses where they don't belong...they couldn't tell a boy from a girl, much less a road sign from a tree and they are telling me about safety first... ahhh...the joys of nosey people!!!! I hate when someone acts like their your best friend talking to ya like they know ya and then correct everything ya do... if I wanted your opinion on parenting I would have asked, if I wanted to know about safety I definately would have asked an 80 year old couple who has had plenty of experience practicing it, and if I cared how cute you thought my LITTLE GIRL was, I would have asked, until then keep moving!!! ABSOLUTELY IRRITATING!

**Although... I do love me some old people!!! :D**
