Adults That Make Children Laugh....

Well, This is a funny story I thought I'd share with you- this summer at a concert, my children saw a woman wearing this type of gypsy hat. At first they laughed and laughed- and said she looked ridiculous-and carried on. A week later they were still talking about the woman with the gypsy hat.  But then, while at a store-guess what they wanted to buy! The gypsy hat.  I told my children not to judge people so harshly-sometimes adults can look ridiculous-but it is more or less the children picking up on the adults insecurity or even the adult trying too hard to be something they are not and so children sense that.  But I couldn't help but laugh myself at lifes small joys and serendipitous revelations!

I used this to point out to the children that life is a theatre and that what actually happened is that the woman taught them a lesson about freedom to be and look how you want- even if it is ridiculous!  I really believe, had the woman in the hat looked more self-confident and not scared and depressive-that my children would have not noticed or had liked it right away....
