So I was writing a paper at this coffee shop. I did some flirting with the girl behind the register, thought I was hot sh!t. Right. So I go sit down, and a couple of tables next to me is this girl and 2 friends. She's pretty cute, mind you. Suddenly this family comes in, mom & dad + their son and daughter (both are pretty young).
They sit at the table inbetween me and the cute girl. The little boy gets his chair scoots it next to the girl, and just sits there. She starts laughing and says "Hi!"
He's like "Hey."
The parents and the girls friends all think this is funny. The girl asks "So how old are you?"
"4" says the kid. "Aw, that's cute. My name's Ashley" says the girl.
The dad starts telling the kid "What do you say? Tell her your name"
"I'm David."
Then the dad goes up to the kids ear whispers something. The kid turns and asks the girl "Do you come here often?" Everyone laughs.
At this point I'm intrigued. It's amazing that anyone can do this stuff. What's even more amazing is that a 4 YEAR OLD was doing this. 4!! So then she starts asking him what his favorite TV shows are (he watches Mythbusters by the way). They kind of talk, but it's mostly a group talk at this point, the dad giving the son pointers and follow up questions. About 10 minutes later the family left.
So, thoughts? I'm just in shock. It really slapped me in the face and put things into perspective. This crap is so simple and yet we all run a million thoughts and fears through our heads about approaching. Something tells me we're taking this stuff waaay too seriously.
