Kind of a funny

My neighbor told me something kind of funny. My kids had been out front playing with her son, who is 3.5. I was nearby, but missed this. The mom was telling Nathan to be careful not to get something too close to her son, and David asked why. She said it's because her son is allergic to quite a few things. The little boy stood real close to David's face and said, "Algies! I have Algies!" So David said, "Yeah. *I'm* allergic to people getting in my personal space!"

The mom went on to tell David that certain foods and other things can make her son get itchy and feel sick. David told her that he feels all sick inside, and his stomach feels all weird when people get in his personal space.

It's funny and cute, I think. But also, I'm pleased that David was able to have this conversation with the neighbor. He has NEVER told *me* that he feels sick when someone is in his personal space.

too cute.....I know several people (including myself) who are allergic to people in our personal space....Good for him for being able to express that.....I need to teach my son that.
