Stranger Danger

Don't we all talk to everyone as we get older, whether we know them or not? My grandson always asks me if I know that person I was talking to. I tell him No, but he can't talk to strangers until he is old like me. Last week we were eating dinner out, having a conversation about something in the news and a man at an adjoining table jumped into our conversation. We had a nice chat. After he left, grandson asked if I knew everyone in the restaurant. (I had already greeted a table of ladies that I used to work with and then another man I worked with came in.) I told grandson I did not know that man at all. It was just one of those getting older things. I remember my mother talking to everyone also. Maybe it is hereditary.

It is true, we talk to people in the grocery store and hardware store. We
give and get advice on gardening. I think it is great.

I wish I did more of that. Part of the problem is being out with 'Bubbles' aka my husband. He's very quiet, and doesn't like talkative people, and that would include me, if I started talking to strangers. But otherwise he's perfect.

I do this all of the time.Love to talk with people.Mostly the elders as they seemed to appreciated it.The young one well they think we are going to molest them or kidnap them.I will take the.I do loved the old men that something about them.So much history in the lines of their face.Some I liked to hug them and cuddle.Not this is not sexual thing but a comfortable thing that I have.maybe because my dad was not like this.
