The art and innocence of compliments

This evening we were taking a stroll around the neighbor"hood" when two little girls ran out on their driveway. Both about Silvi's age, one had some Dora the Explorer pj's on and the other had a Disney Princess nightgown on.
Upon seeing her fashionable peers Silvia says,

"Hi. I like your shirts."

Without missing a beat.

The girls just stared and didn't say anything. Unphazed she just continued on her stroll, pushing her pink stroller with her dolly in it.

Very cute and innocent.

Sad that the same situation will likely continue to play out and 9 times out of 10 the only response will be a blank stare.
