Sometimes....

Sometimes my youngest kid just cracks me up, and sometimes the place we are at just lends itself to the humor. Now, i have to preface this by telling you that my youngest son is 37 years old, but was born with brain damage and also has schizophrenia. Because of the brain damage he is about 8 years old mentally as far as his reasoning goes. Today we were out running around and stopped into one of our favorite chain stores. As we were walking down one aisle, he whispers to me, "mom, there's a man in a dress over there!!!" He was right, there was a person that was probably in the process of sexual reasignment surgery. So I explained all about that. Not so funny you say? It was only because the name of the store we were in is Bi-Mart.Hey ya gotta laugh whenever you can :D

it's so nice when we allow ourselves to see the humor in these little things that some might be upset about or insulted by. i love the innocence of such a reaction.

my youngest cousin was shopping with my uncle (his father) and another uncle last year. he was 5 years old, and a little person walked by. my cousin suddenly pointed and yelled "Dad! Follow the yellow brick road!"

Being with a kid can be pretty amazing at times - they look at things you wouldn't give a second glance with fresh eyes, and they aren't generally shy about expressing their thoughts and feelings.

Bi-mart? LOL! I took my husband to a sewing store once and he was horrified to see two men in full motorcycle dress with their arms around each other perusing the pattern books. LOL!

A purple heart to you and your son for finding a great moment together in this world!
