Had to have "the talk"....

No- they are too young for "THAT TALK".....but we did have to have the stranger talk. I took my boys to the lake today (sorry those of you freezing in the north) and as we were packing up to leave I noticed an odd looking man and his "friend" were parked right next to me. I'm pretty friendly so I nodded my head in the "I don't know you but have a nice day fashion"....and he asked "do you have any bread or crackers"...I must have raised an eyebrow because he soon followed up with "for the Geese". I said no, sorry I don't. He then offered "oh- they are hungry and we tried to get some bread earlier but couldn't"......Couldn't? why- is there a bread shortage in Florida? Is the price of gas affecting bread being delivered to the local 7-11 down the street from the lake? As he is talking I am getting more alarmed and packing my car faster (Thank God I put the boys in the car and buckled them first). so I quickly look at him and say "oh, sorry". As I pass his window and begin to get into my car he looks at me- no smile- no "this is a joke laugh" and asks....."then, can I have one of the kids"......so it is 11:15 at night and I am still freaked out-of course all of this happens while my husband is away- clear across the country and I hardly know my neighbors. Great. One glass of wine later and every noise I hear is him trying to get into my house- yes, I am that pathetic- years and years of an overactive imagination- but you have to admit- we live in a weird scary society and that was weird and scary. On a very funny note.....my older son X (5years) brought his squirt gun and although I do not allow him to tease animals....he did get one squirt off toward the goose......(boys!)- the goose then got him back by chasing him for 100 feet or so honking his little goose head off!!!!! X was so scared- I did hug him and tell him it would be okay in between laughing my ASS off!!!!!!!! Little man has been teasing him all day too- sad that a near 3 year old got the funny factor!
