Don't talk to strangers

Yea, this goes for us moms too. How many times do we tell our kids not to talk to strangers yet an unknown man (in a wheelchair and more than likely homeless) asks me a question, and I stop to see what he wants. Stupid! I was just outside Starbucks tonight, in clear view of the inside, and with other people outside so I didn't feel in danger or anything. This guy was going to ask me something and then stopped and said he's ask me when I was done inside. Huh? I don't know what he was going to ask, for money perhaps? When I left I had 2 drinks though and he had rolled a few feet away so I didn't stay to see. He had his *girlfriend* with him too. She asked me something about ice while I was in the store but with no teeth, it was hard to understand her. Do I look like a good person? Or a pushover? And why do I always stop?

Stranger Danger

I've discovered "stranger danger" is not as easy as I thought it would be to explain to Logan. I realized I had bought THIS dvd a year or two back though and I decided to pull it out and watch it with him today while Ian was napping. It really helped him understand better and we were able to talk about it without it being scary or confusing. It's talks about people who are "Don't Knows" and people who are "Kinda Knows" and how to deal with both. If you are having the same issues as I was, I highly recommend getting it.

It was cute- when Ian got up from his nap, Logan was attempting to tell him all about the video and teach Ian what he should do in a situation with a "Don't Know" or "Kinda Know". I'm sure Ian had no clue what he was talking about but I loved the big brother/little brother moment.
