Grocery store weirdness

Young woman at the check-out:   Are they twins?

Me:   Yes.

Woman (pointing to Benjamin):   But he’s older!

Me:   Well, yes, by a minute.

Woman:   I could tell - he’s bigger.

* * *

Random older man:   “I’ve been following you around trying to figure out how old your boys are!”

[When speaking to a Mom with two young children, starting a sentence with “I’ve been following you around…” is not the way to go.]

* * *

Young black woman (speaking to the boys):     Hi!!     (to me)     They’re soooo cute!!

Me:   Thanks!

Woman:    Look - he’s waving to me! He’s smiling! (pause) Oh yeah, he likes black girls!

[Now if I, as a white woman, said the equivalent to a little black boy....]
