In One Ear and Out The Other

So the other day Kennedi(8) and Cade(5) came running in the house all excited. This is how the conversation went---

Kennedi- "Mom we just had a popsicle!"

Mom--"Really...where did you get it?"
(I'm thinking...I haven't bought popsicles in a while)

K--"from the guy in the yellow truck"

Boy did that get my attention!
M--"Wait, what guy in a yellow truck!?"

K--"the guy that goes to Skye's"

I then realized that she was talking about the Schwan's guy but I decided to do some more investigating.
M--"How do you know they weren't poisoned!?"

K--"They weren't mom, they were good." I was trying not to laugh after that.

M--"Was Skye home?"

K--"No"

M--"What if he tried to take you or Cade?"

K--"Mom he was nice and he gave us popsicles." She rolled her eyes while saying it. "We all got one...me, Cade, Branson, Karly."

M--"Do you remember that we don't talk to strangers and a stranger is anyone that we don't know."

K--"We know him. He goes to Skyes house all the time to sell her food."

M--"We don't know him and please don't ever do that again."

K--"Fine!"
Another eye roll from Kennedi. Cade was very wise just to let her do all the talking.

It was a funny exchange but it scared me and reminded me of just how innocent kids are. I hope my teachings are sinking in but sometimes I wonder. You can never remind them too much!
