Let’s honest – kids will always be unintentionally “shady” because they say (often out loud 😬) what’s on their mind without malice and usually from a place of interest and awe.
My youngest nephew is the king of shading me. Between his wicked side eye and him constantly agreeing with me that a) I’m old and b) I’m overweight, like it’s just a statement of facts. The kid kills me every time he does this 😆😆😆. And I never get mad because it doesn’t come from a mean place.
Then there was yesterday… I was grocery shopping and came upon a mom with her two children, a boy about 5/6 and a girl of about 4ish. As I walked past them the boy goes “She has white hair (😮)” and I could just feel his mom start to cringe, so I turned and said in a cheery voice “It is white, isn’t that cool?” with a touch of laughter in my voice to let his mom know I wasn’t offended in the least. Then the little girl chimed in with “was your hair green before?” and her mother said, “Why would her hair be green?!?”. I just laughed and said no it was a reddish brown. Then the boy jumps back in with “it looks like snow” followed up by his sister asking if it was snow ❄️❄️❄️. I said although it looks like it’s snowing when I shed, it wasn’t actually snow but that it would be fun if it was 😁. I then wished them happy holidays and we all went on our merry ways.
This is why I love kids and probably one reason why I don’t have them 😉.
