how do you react??
I know that sound really 'dodgy' but it's not. DS2 (18 months) LOVES waving at people as we're out and about with him in his pushchair. Was on the way back from picking DS1 up from nursery and he was waving furiously at a middle aged man - who then waved back...he went to walk on his way, then stopped asked what the boys names were and said "that's the 2nd time he's waved to me - how lovely".......and proceed to fish some money out of his pocket saying "Next time you see the icecream van you get them one each"......
I told him he REALLY didn't need to do that, but he was adamant, and despite my protestations (embarassment mainly!) gave them £2 EACH!!
I thanked him profusely and he disappeared on his way, with a big smile on his face.
How do YOU react in the situations?? I've had people offer a sweet (after asking me) to them before, and I can 'cope' with that, but £4 to buy them something was a really awkward situation.
Anyone else had the same happen to them and how do you react??
PS I'm not 'angry', 'annoyed' or anything like that, as it was obvious that it was just a 'natural' thing for him to do.
He spoke with a Caribbean accent (not sure if that's relevant) so don't know if it's a cultural type thing either!
