The Things Kids Say!

Have you ever been out in public and have your children say something so loud and so embarassing that you spend the next 10 minutes trying to find a place to hide and the next 5 minutes looking for their "real" parents....

Well a couple of weeks ago we are at the mall doing a bit of shopping. It was a nice day and we were able to get everything we were looking for. That so seldom happens and on top of it all the kids were so good and well behaved that we thought we would buy them an ice cream on the way out.

So here are ice cream in hand on our way out of the mall, we are laughing and having a great time when off to the side Cyrus my six year old sees something that is worth his undivided attention...

Background, we are from Alberta Canada and don't see a lot of Afganistan Women out and about...

So he spies this lady in a full Burka (I think that is what it is called) she is covered head to toe in all black with all that is showing is a slit for her eyes, it really was quite beautiful...

Enter Cyrus..."look mom a NINJA, a real life NINJA" oh my he was so excited and really loud.
Now you would think that people would have a sense of humor about these things, she was with children, but no.

So I quickly usser him out of the mall, shusshing him all the way, meanwhile, he keeps saying how cool it is that he just seen a real life ninja. Well I could hardly burst his bubble, as we made our way out of earshot of anyone, I agreed that it was very cool, but we should probably keep it a secret between us otherwise his friends would be jealous!
