Caroline squared

We had dinner Friday night at Canyon's Burger Company before a spirited trip to Walmart, and while Caroline was ignoring her grilled cheese for our french fries, a young lady (pictured, back left) got in the booth behind us to wait on her dad.

She had a lot on her mind. Her name is Caroline too, her daddy is 36 and her mommy is 41 and her daddy was getting her a cheeseburger and her brother likes french fries.

I keep looking ahead to Caroline's stages of development with nervous fear, though its never as hard as when that time comes (walking, talking, etc.).  I've long wondered how I will respond to the 4-8 year-old phase where kids just say everything on their mind because I'm such a know-it-all. Will I let her talk and figure things out on her own, or will I be an overbearing parent and correct what she says all the time?  At least a mix is okay, right?

UPDATE: The Mommy just let me know that I missed a part of the conversation over the booth wall.  Apparently the 'second Caroline' said later, "Actaully my name is Sidney, but I like the name Caroline."  Don't we all...
