Why do people insist on bugging Willow because she's so shy? James gets this too, all the time. It's like he's a magnet for weird people. Anyway, Willow gets singled out all the time in places like the grocery store where people will stop and make strange faces at her, stare at her in weird ways just because she's so shy she doesn't look at them when they talk to her. If she doesn't want to talk to you so badly that she looks away, GET THE HINT! Leave her alone, don't continue to scare her and give her even more reason to be wary of strangers. Personally, I think her being shy of strangers at this age is a good thing. And it's not everyone, often she chats with other kids in carts and their moms. It's just the strange ones she avoids- smart girl.
This grinch was riding on a mini bike at the Santa Claus parade. Around and around,and around, and then he noticed me taking a photo of my kids and decided to jump in. Poor kids. They didn't like him at all.
The world is mostly made up of extroverts and extroverts are incapable of understanding introverts. They see them as "wrong" so they try to "fix" them by "bringing them out of their shells." They just don't get that introverts are happy it just doesn't look like extroverted happy.
ReplyDeleteDidn't mean to get philosophical, that's just the conclusion I've drawn from my experience :)
The look on Willow's face is priceless. I'm pretty sure Maddy would have been bawling.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's just disturbing! I don't blame them one bit! I love that you captured that look on Willow's face.
