Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 This story made me think that maybe children are learning more about people and differences and that gives me hope that my baby can be treated better in the future. a Amezcua, (mother of Saul, 16 months old) Cute story I was at the Dodger game on Tuesday night, and I sat behind some very intrigued little boys. At first they didn't notice me and my short stature. But after I had been sitting behind them through the first inning, the youngest boy turned around and looked at me. He looked me up and down twice and turned to his older brother and said, in what he thought was a whisper but it was quite a loud voice, " That girl has short arms, I wonder if she is a dwarf, but she has long legs " (the boys couldn't see the rest of my legs so they assumed they were long)..and the other boy goes, " She probably had the surgery " , and went back to eating his peanuts. I thought it was so cute and funny, I just had to share that with everyone. P.S. The Dodgers Beat the Giants in a FANTASTIC game 4-3. www.geocities.com/saucey4you Looking to unsubscribe?

First impressions do count. luthien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Alesha.. thats a great story. It's amazing how great the imagination is sometimes. I hope the family is still doing well in their new home.. hugs. Emilie ( 5 Poly) Cute Story I have a cute story to share that has nothing to do with JRA but sometimes we just need to smile, so I thought I'd share it with the group. We went to eat last night at a seafood place and the kids where eating catfish, I was eating crab legs and dad was having a little bit of everything. Well in that little bit of everything was crawfish, (Which I think personally look like big bugs). Our 3 year old, , fell in love with the crawfish, holding it and petting it for about 30 minutes, I this point I must remind you that its already dead and cooked. When it came time for Daddy to eat her new friend, that she had named by this time, Freddie the daddy of the crawfish, she wasn't going to allow that, nor was he going to eat Maggie, Clare, or Bubba, the mommy, the sister and the poor little brother with the broken arm. She actually started crying, she was really fond of this crawfish family. So after much discussion and by that time most of the other people eating have figured out what was going on she decided that Freddie and his family should come back to our house and live in the compost pile. So the waiter got us a little 'house' for her family and the waiter and most of the other customers said their goodbyes to Freddie and off the crawfish family went to our house. They are all resting nicely now in their new home in the compost pile behind our house, snug as little bugs. ANd no crawfish where harmed in the making of this story.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I had to share this with each of you. I thought you all would appreciate it! My husband and I ran into an old friend this past week when we were out with our twin boys. (Our son Ian has had a STARband for 5 weeks now.) He and his wife were having a get together with several couples that we used to hang out with, but have lost touch with, and he invited us over to see everyone. Well, last night we stopped by with the twins and they all have several kids of their own now. As we were leaving two of the little boys who are 5 and 4 years old, came over to say good-bye to the boys. They quickly noticed Ian's helmet and asked why he was wearing it. I explained that he has a flat spot on his head and the helmet is going to help round his head out so it is nice and round like their heads. Both boys (from different families) quickly responded, " Oh, we don't have round heads. Our heads are flat too! " They both then turned around and showed me their flat spots. I had to laugh. I guess it is more common then I thought! I'm very happy with our decision to band Ian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
