I love the toy store!<BR/>Okay, I don't think it's a gender thing. My husband remembers names and I don't. I'm visually inclined and can remember faces (if I want to) and my husband is more audio inclined and remembers names easily.<BR/>I agree with the Plot Whisperer,Maybe your son blanked out when he saw his teacher. It can be scary seeing your teacher outside of school!Kim Baisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899650459408364102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-89104593810754936132008-11-23T16:23:00.000-08:002008-11-23T16:23:00.000-08:00Solvang is gorgeous.

For example, my brother is a high school football coach and going to the supermarket with him is a wacky experience. We can't get through an aisle without someone yelling, "Hey Coach!" <BR/><BR/>Kids want to bump fists. Parents want to get more game time for their kids. The whole trip feels like I'm purchasing produce with a rock star. <BR/><BR/>The thing is, he's good at it. He stops and chats with each of them. He has that people thing. It's pretty cool. <BR/><BR/>I guess some people are into it and some people aren't...Suzanne Casamentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306151428658707692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-53482301891642344042008-11-23T10:06:00.000-08:002008-11-23T10:06:00.000-08:00We do have a picturesque town, Kelly.

I know fewer people, although I remember the names of parents down the street and he doesn't.<BR/><BR/>Confusing, ain't it?Carrie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893023777471521703noreply@blogger.com
