Today we had a potluck at church.  It was delicious; there was lots of good food.  Near the end I went into one of the side rooms where all the 4-6 year olds were playing.  My goal was to just quickly take a look at something in the room and then leave.  I knelt down to the box which was on the bottom shelf of a book case.  When I looked up a moment later, four children were standing around me, looking at me.
Amanda: "uh, hi?"
kids stare back
Amanda stares back, wondering what to do next.
Ethan: "Hi!  I'm Ethan."
Phew, that broke the ice.  I was then told all of their names (which I already knew) and their brother/sister relationships (which I also knew) (the church isn't that big).  And know they know my name too.

I never know what to say to little kids either.
