>>>Well, a bald man was sitting on a low couch and when walked past him,

he reached out and felt of his shiny dome.<<<<

OMG that is soooo funny!! (Sorry I am sure it wasn't for you) But people really

need to relax and have a sense of humor (its good for their health)!! My brother

is quite bald for 35 and has a great sense of humor about it.

BTW My sister works at a Wal-Mart and the stories she tells about how people

treat their children are amazing so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they

don't have any patience for others' children

We had a similar incident with in a book store. I wasn't in the

store very long but loves books so it's usually an easy trip

with just him. He doesn't care if a book has pictures or not, the

bigger the better to him. (and the child is NOT hyperlexic so figure

that one out for me.) Anyway, this is a large yet intimate book

store. There are couches and chairs throughout the store and lots of

people sit and read for long periods of time. Well, a bald man was

sitting on a low couch and when walked past him, he reached out

and felt of his shiny dome. The man was furious. He didn't say

anything to me but if looks could kill I wouldn't be typing this now.

He made several indignant grunts and slammed the book down on a table

got up and left. I apologized and scolded but that wasn't

anywhere near good enough for him.

I think he was just very insecure about being bald. He wasn't about

to listen to any explanations. loves to have his hair really

really short because he loves to run his hands over it. It's a

sensory issue. I'm sure he saw this man's bald head and wondered if

it would feel like his.

My mother who rarely goes anywhere with me was absolutely mortified.

She turned 12 shades of red and wanted to leave without finishing her

purchases. But my mother has lots of personal issues and has a very

hard time coping with kids of any ability so I ignore her. ;)

This reminds me of when Enrique was about five. We were standing in line at

the Bronx Zoo, and Enrique, after looking thoughtfully at the black couple

ahead of us, turned to me and said, " Mama, have you ever noticed that some

people are a different color? "

My sister in law is black and her daughers are, well, whatever...so it

wasn't as if he had never seen anyone with a different skin color. I guess

it just suddenly struck him as interesting.
