Deportment...or lack thereof

In the grocery store today, we walked past an employee who was up on a ladder, stocking shelves. Caden and Alyssa both cheerily greeted her, and as we passed her, Caden said "I wasn't sure if you were a boy or a girl - I thought you were a boy!"
I'm still cringing. Hopefully the lady didn't hear him. Mercifully he sort of said this under his breath.
Yesterday, both of them pointed to a lady in Walmart, and said to her, "You're a grammy!" She was of the Grammy age, and Caden and Alyssa pointed this out repeatedly. Luckily, she acted like she was amused by this, and hopefully she was.
Its hard to reprimand then and there without making the person in question feel more embarrassed. So, needless to say, we're working on saying hello without pointing out ANYTHING about that individual in the greeting!
