Some Do, Some Don't

So, yesterday I was walking with my little group of stroller mama's in our neighborhood and I was having a conversation with one of them. We were discussing our callings, mine-YW, hers-Primary. She was mentioning that she wouldn't really like a calling in YW. I mentioned that I thought Primary would be more difficult for me than YW, only because I think my eternal calling is going to be with teenagers. She then stated that she wasn't so big on kids either. I was hoping that she didn't take my comment as an inference that I didn't like kids. Because I do. I love kids in fact. Most all kids.

Sometimes I just assume that if people have children of their own, they generally like all kids. Well, that's what happens when you assume. It's not the case. Some people just prefer their own kids. I suppose I can understand; I for example like my own dog (supposing I had one still), or other dogs that I know. But I don't love all dogs.

Kids are just funny. Last week we were waiting at a restaurant. There were a few families sitting in the lobby and one little girl walked up to another little girl, and without saying anything, just started pulling off her backpack. She was determined to have it. Her mother quickly explained to the other mother that her little girl had a back pack just like that at home and thought that somehow this complete stranger had stole it from her. I laughed out loud.

When would you ever see a dog do that?
