Innocence of a Child

This afternoon, I went with Paul and Kelli - and all the kids - to BMW's health fair. (There were 7 of us, so we looked like the Brady Bunch walking in.) It was really neat. There were a lot of vendors giving away different things. They had demonstrations, and even had one of those models of fat. There was a kids' area with inflatables and popcorn, too. The kids could do karoke and win prizes. Even Gavin got some prizes - a mini beach ball and a fireman's hat. So, to the point of this post. Almost all the vendors had baskets of candy on their tables to give out as people passed by. Naturally, as we walked by, Jacob would grab some candy and put it in his bag. (It was almost like Halloween.) Well, on our way out, we passed a vendor with information about being tested for HIV and STD's. Instead of having candy, this vendor had a basket of condoms on the table. So...there went Jacob to snatch up some "candy". Just as his hand was about to go in the basket of condoms, Kelli grabbed him and said, "Let's move on, Jacob." You may not be bent over laughing right now, but if you were there to see exactly how it happened, you'd think it was hilarious. The funniest part was that we were dying laughing, and Jacob still had no clue what was going on. Ahhh, the innocence of a child.

I can totally picture that scene - from Jacob's confused look to Kelli rushing him away from the basket! So funny! I'm glad that he is still so innocent at 8 years old because there are so many kids who aren't!
