Light Rail Experience

This weekend we took my mom on the light rail for her birthday. She has been wanting to take the boys for a while and I just wasn't comfortable with her taking them alone, so we decided to make a day of it.

So, we get on the light rail and it is pretty busy and we end up taking the last 5 seats. Two stops later, a young African American lady boards with her infant in her arms. My hubby gets up right away and offers her his seat. Finding this to be a teaching moment, I leaned over to Colton and asked him, "Do you know why daddy gave up his seat for that lady?" To which he replied, "Yep, because of Rosa Parks."

I couldn't help but bite my tongue as I was going to burst out laughing. I calmly told him that everyone was equal now and that the reason dad gave up his seat was because she was a woman and that you should always treat girls with respect. But, wow, he has had some zingers lately!

On a side note, just because I don't want to forget, Dawson has been cracking me up too lately. He can't say the word "alphabet" so when I picked him up from school the other day and asked him what he had for snack, I got, "We had awfulbit gummies." I wonder if they were good alphabet gummies? He is pretty cute!
