OH MY FRICKEN GOSH!

.....I haven't blogged in forever.......


Ok so what prompted me to blog is a HILARIOUS event that occurred at Ken'ts open house.

Picture if you will:

I am almost 21 (at the end of the month!) and I see this little kid ride his bike down the road and walk right into our garage. He looks around like he doesn't quite know what to do. I think to myself, "He looks so familiar." Then it dawns on me: I use to babysit him!
I say to the young boy, "Ben?"
"Yes....." he replies hesitantly.
My eyes light up and I say the first thing that comes to mind. "Can I have a hug?"
He immediately says no, looks down at the ground, and backs up at least 12 feet from me.

To me it was a reunion of sorts. This young boy that I had babysat so very long ago had grown up. (tear tear) I didn't think that he wouldn't remember me At All.

He went over to his mom as soon as he saw her and told her that "This girl had wanted to give me a hug. I don't even know her. I don't even know her...."

Way to go momma. Way to teach him stranger danger. You have taught him well.
