M and the Dwarf...

Something Honormommy posted reminded me of the first time M saw a dwarf. He and the Stallion had gone to the grocery store, just the two of them. They are walking down the aisle when one of the women who worked at the store, who happened to be a dwarf, walked past them. M watched her intently and Chris readied the speech we'd prepared about how God made everyone different and how special that was and how He loved them all just the same. But M doesn't say a word until she turns down another aisle. Then he looks up at Chris with wonder in his eyes and yells, "DAD! THAT WAS AN OOMPA-LOOMPA!"

He was very sensitive about it really.

You know... M called G an "evil dwarf" last week when he was over playing. G was being a pesky brother. Marty and I had a huge giggle over that. :-)

Nice, M! Geez...

G was asking to be called a lot worse. :-)

heavens - remember the first time erma noticed that african-americans are black? she was about 3 years old, and we were at sears. she declared VERY loudly "oh, mommy, ick!!! his face is all dirty!!! he needs to take a bath!!!"

and i, of course, responded in the best possible way - dragging her behind some racks of clothes, trying to shush her.
