While having lunch with friends we started sharing what people say to us about our children. How you can have a little girl in a pink dress with ruffles and a bow in her hair and someone will say,"What a cute fellow." What?? Are you kidding me??
I hear all the time what wonderful eyes Eli has. But some of the comments are crazy...
I am the only one around when a lady asks me, "Have you seen his eyes, they are so blue?" I wanted to say, "No I have not looked into my child's eyes yet, let me get on that." instead I said, "Yes, his eyes really are blue." (with a smile!!)
I over hear a teenager in a store tell his girlfriend, "Man did you see that kids eyes, they were like a vampire or something." I'm not sure what to make of that but the teenager did have about 10 piercings on his face alone, so maybe he is into vampires??
Over the past few days I have had at least 4 people (maybe more but I can't remember) tell me. "Wow, look at his hair, he needs a hair cut." OK, so not in those exact words but they have told me I need to take my child in for a hair cut in some form or fashion. Now, I know his hair is a bit long, his daddy has been on me to take Eli to get his hair cut or he (Brandon) will cut it, but I have not had time, I have other things to do when Eli is not napping. Plus it has been cold and rainy.
Who walks up to someone they don't know and tells them they need to take their kid to get a hair cut? I get the blue eye thing, but that is a compliment (at least most of the time). I am not that offended by this, but I am surprised by what people say.
