Did You Just Not See Me?

So many stories, so little time to write about them! Right now we are in New England and are enjoying time with Aunt Stacey and the Grandfriends (a new term coined by Luke). We did take a road trip to Niagara Falls last week, but I'll have to write about that after I download my pictures. :o) For now, I have a great Joshua story...

We were at this club in Vermont on Sunday morning for their regular meeting time. The two youngest and more rambunctious of my children were already in the nursery, but Joshua was sitting with us waiting for the bigger children to be dismissed for their own time together. So, the guy leading at the time sort of introduces and welcomes Daddy and I as well as Grandmother & Grandfather. Joshua looked up at his daddy and asked if the guy just didn't see him or something because Joshua didn't understand why he had introduced the 4 of us and not Joshua. We thought that was kind of cute, right?

Later, after the meeting we had a potluck lunch before we got on the road. The announcer guy came to sit down on the other side of Daddy so he could chat for a little bit while we all ate. Joshua saw him, got out of his chair, walked around the end of the table, and sidled up beside the guy. Then Joshua proceeded to ask the guy why he hadn't introduced Joshua when he very clearly was introducing our family to everyone. Joshua asked the guy if he just hadn't seen him sitting there with the rest of us. :o) The guy kind of stammered and tried to figure out how to answer this 18 year old in a 5 year old's body. Finally he said that it was actually someone else's job to introduce us to everyone. So, later Joshua actually went and found THAT guy and asked him the same question. I don't know what he said to Joshua, but I'm sure neither man will ever underestimate small children again. At least not mine. ;o)
