Your kids are so cute, if I had a gun I'd kidnap them!

So explanation, I was at a grocery store in IN getting some last minute stuff, and this lady comes up to me in the parking lot commenting on how cute Jackson was, and then she sees Jenna and gushes on how gorgeous she is. I love when people compliment my children and all, however she follows her gush by saying "Your kids are so cute, if I had a gun I'd kidnap them", and I actually think she said a gun with her, which is even scarier. People really need to think before they speak.
Did she not think "wow that lady is going to think I am a nut bag!"?
I think that often times as a culture ( I am now referring to those of us who blog and update our status on Facebook, Twitter, or MySpace), that we often don't think of the way our "status" or words affect they way people look at us. I shared an in depth conversation with Andee ( one of my closest friends and steerting team members for our MOPS chapter), about another mother( I know gosip is bad, we were giving in to temptation) . We were however concerned that this mommies's words could affect the way people look at us.
I never want any of my friends or family to ever worry about this so I m adding to my "Chore Chart"
6. To edit myself( ok this may be hard for me becuase I like to share when I am upset) to make sure when I read my words that not only do the words represent me well, but also words that would make those who are my friends and family proud of me.


To the lady at the Strak and VonTill gorcery store please think about what you say before you say it, would your family want to brag that you are their sister, mother, cousin, wife, ect, with words like "Your kids are so cute, if I had a gun with me I'd kidnap them."
