So last night I took the kids to Fred Meyer (as I often do) to do some much needed grocery shopping. Since it was around dinner time, I decided I would get them each a corndog from the deli - a special treat for them - and in turn it keeps them quiet, so it works out being a special treat for me as well.
When we get to the deli, there stands a group of grungy teenage boys, all decked out in black tight pants, and dirty stringy hair and coats that have been "Sharpied" up the yang. And all I can think to myself it, I hope to GOD that Andrew doesn't ever go through this phase. I hope to GOD he always values a good shower. But anyhoo...that's not my point.
One of the boys had a mohawk. It was red and orange and shaggy and nasty. But a mohawk, none the less. Alivia spots this boy and gets VERY excited and says in her teensy baby girl voice, "Oh, HI CHICKEN!"
I about died.
From laughter.
The boy didn't seem to notice. He stood there with his dirty germ infested friends and ordered one eggroll and counted out his $.54 in change and then started to slowly walk away.
And what does Alivia do?
She politely yells "BYE CHICKEN, BYE!!!"

You got an "out loud" laugh on that one!! Gotta love the things kids say. So innocent, yet so right on. You're lucky the guy didn't pull a switchblade on ya'll.
ps Totally original title. Love it. :)
