When my son was around 2 and a half or 3, we were in the grocery store at the deli section waiting to order some sliced ham or whatever. Quite loudly, and more than once, he said “Mommy! Look! That lady has a moustache!” Pointing at her. As, indeed, she did! I was mortified and couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

That's what I was expecting this post to be about, but it isn't.
Yeah, an almost two year old should be speaking in sentences, not just pointing and saying the word.
My son didn’t and his speech development was fine, and his daughter is the same. Some people just don’t speak a lot , he still doesn’t, whereas his sister hasn’t stopped
Way back in the day, when my son was 2ish, in the 80's, we were at Kmart, and he sees a black lady with dreads. He gets ALL excited, and he points her out to me, saying "Mommy mommy! Look! There's Whoopie Goldberg!" (He was familiar with Whoopie Goldberg because we watched Star Trek the Next Generation.) I glance over, and needless to say, she is not Whoopie Goldberg. He keeps insisting that it is, and he wants us to wheel on over and say hi to her.
After a few minutes of this, we do wheel on over, and I say "Excuse me, my son wanted us to come over and say hello because he thinks you're Whoopie Goldberg."
She smiles so sweet at him and says "No honey, I'm not her."
Another time, we were at the grocery store, waiting in line to be checked out. He's sitting in the cart, so he see's who comes up behind us. I can't, without turning around, but I could tell it was someone very tall, because he actually casted a shadow over us.
My son says "Mommy mommy, look! It's Ozzy Smith! (For anyone who doesn't know, Ozzy Smith was a very popular Cardinals baseball player back in the day.) Ozzy Smith is not a particularly tall person, so without even turning around, I knew it wasn't him. LOL So, I keep telling my son "No honey, it's not Ozzy Smith." I'm trying to keep a low voice, but my toddler keeps insisting that we say something to this guy behind us.
Finally, I turn around, and I look up, and up, and up to this very tall man and say "My son thinks you are Ozzy Smith." Now...most likely, he heard the whole conversation anyway, but he looked down from his lofty height and gets this little smile, and says "No son, I'm not Ozzy Smith."
Your son was adorable. It would have been great if it had been Ozzie though.
