Sometimes people should be seen and not heard.
We were at the shops, waiting in the line, and I was playing a game of peek-a-boo with another shopper. A lady said to mum 'your baby is a very good boy", mum said "yes, he's a great shopper", and then the lady said "ah, that'll change".
It's a funny thing to say. Not funny 'ha ha', funny strange.
We've encountered a few of these types of remarks in our travels.
"They might be good now, but wait till they're 2" Or four, or 14...We've heard them all.
Maybe they've had bad experiences with babies, or they're just sad people, but it's still really weird that a total stranger feels comfortable enough to announce such things.
Mum says we should all be allowed to enjoy every moment of being little and happy. Maybe I won't always enjoy shopping, but at the moment I go with the flow and always have a smile for mum, dad, and all the other shoppers. Even the ones who say dopey things.
