Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 How strange--we had a weird time in Old Navy in Seattle today. It was a bunch of children, though, following my son and pointing and giggling. My sister was about to snarl at them when she heard one say, " He's a knight! " 's helmet is decorated like a Roman emperor's. You can see him in the photos section. It was really funny once we realized the kids weren't being mean. The thought he was in armor! 21 mos, DOC Band 5/7 > I was at Old Navy this evening and every ignorant person in the state > of Wisconsin was there. You would have thought that Jack (10 mo. > old / Doc Band on for 3 weeks)was an alien. These weren't kids, > either, they were grown adults. People were pointing and stareing > and actually following us around the store. We had to leave.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Jodie, I'm sorry you had to deal with such rude people! I know how you feel, I went through it too. It got to the point the I was saying very rude things to ppl that were gawking at my baby. I'd like to tell you it'll get better but for me it never did. I hope it DOES get better for you.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Jodie, I am so sorry you to go thru that!!! Luckily your baby was totally oblivious to it. Those people were rude and ignorant. Just be thankful that you are not them! It should get better. We have had nothing like that ever happen (but then again I don't take him out shopping very much....) HUGS from Sue Colin F. 11 mos.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Thank you!!! I've decided that from now on I'm going to look at these rude observers and say... " You should see the other guy. " At least that will make me feel better!!! ) Jack's helmet is decorated like a Wisconsin Badger football helmet and today we are taking him to meet the team and to get his Band autographed! Hopefully things will go better!! Thanks again for the encourgment!! Jodie > > Jodie, I am so sorry you to go thru that!!! Luckily your baby was > totally oblivious to it.
