So here's the deal...If you know me, you absolutely know my son Brenden. He does NOT let an opportunity, to meet someone, go by. Which I suppose is a great trait in a person. My problem is that I usually turn about 4 shades of red because of my son being so "personable". I am not one to just say "hi" unless it is a choice I have made to be extra likeable that day. So when my son just goes about smiling to everyone and waving and saying "HI", I just want to spontaneously combust and disappear.
However, I do realize that this is a very rare trait in todays society- an honest and sincere "Hello". And I admire my son for being so absolutely sunshiney. But I will choose to admire him from under the table in the other room while I wait for said stranger to be FAR away before I come out again. :)
*On another note, my daughter Alexis used to be extremely trusting. She would ask to hold strangers hands, to which I would just about have a heart attack and snatch her up and ask her NEVER to do that again. But what does a 2yr old know? She liked to hold hands....
