Age, Race, Gender, and Little Kids

It's very interesting to see that Thevy is quite perceptive. She may not fully understand a lot of concepts yet, but she gets the general idea. This is apparent in her references to complete strangers. For example, when she sees older women, she calls them "grandma". Once, when "The Simpsons" was on and Homer's dad appeared on the screen, Thevy cried, "No more grandpa!", meaning she didn't want to watch it.

She mentioned "uncle" when we were at the supermarket and a man passed by and he wasn't "old". She has referred to my friends as "Aunt Gina". So, I see that can make out differences between men and women and older and younger adults. She refers to children as "kids" or she calls out, "Hey, boy" or "Hi, girl!".

And the amusing part: during the same trip to the supermarket, a man in the meat department was putting the chicken out and Thevy called him "Mr. Rogers" and he was a white man. My neighbor, a middle-aged white male, was leaving his house and Thevy also called him "Mr. Rogers." lol.

So far, she knows nothing about race and I don't intend to bring up the subject, but I find it curious as to what they see with their own little eyes...

Update: Thevy watched a neighbor of ours wearing a baseball cap and taking his groceries out of his car and called out, "Hi, mail man!" Funny stuff.
