A lesson in progress........

with all of the telephone and DSL techs, plumbers and now the satellite TV guy here. I am trying to teach my daughter that she shouldn't talk to strangers. She has always been a outgoing child, her first word was 'Hi'. When she was a baby I thought it was so cute, she would say Hi to everyone we walked by. Now that she is almost 4 and telling people things they do not need to know. Like the day she told the treasurer at her preschool that "Mommy only pushed out one baby" I thought I would die. She thinks that these men who have been coming in and out of our home are our friends. I try to tell her they are not, they are working for us. They are strangers and even though Mommy is talking to them it is not ok to tell the nice man about all of your family members.

Calling all Mom's, when do they catch on? When will she get it?

I have begun to tell her to remember what Rick Springfield said and she gives me a puzzled look, of course she doesn't know Rick Springfield. But Hello Emily- DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS!!!!!
