Social Awareness
filed under: Dadditudes
We went for our seems-to-be-annual apple picking today, at Stuart's Farm in Granite Springs (pictures here, pictures from last year here). After picking the (now sparse) apples, going on a hayride, and trekking through the extensive and picked-over pumpkin patch, Max was ready to sit down on what he insisted on referring to as "a grassy area."
As we were sitting, a party of absurdly good looking hipsters walked past from the pumpkin patch. One of the absurdly good looking guys decided to (a) be friendly and (b) show off for the absurdly good looking girls by striking up a conversation with Max. He didn't, it's safe to say, know what he was in for.
Absurdly Good Looking Hipster Dude: Hey, buddy, did you find some pumpkins?Posted by rjt at October 28, 2007 09:08 PMMax: (mumbles, shy, hides his face)
AGLHD: Did you get some good ones?
Max: Yes. I got four.
[Girls giggle.]
Max: See? One, two, three, four.
AGLHD: Oh, yeah--
Max: We had to get so many because we have SUCH a big family now.
AGLHD: Oh, uh--
Max: Right, because there's me, Mommy, Daddy, and Vou that's my baby brother who's in Mommy's tummy.
AGLHD: ...
[Girls giggle harder.]
Max: I wanted to sit here in a grassy area and watch for the hay ride. We went on the hayride earlier and it was so bumpy. I keep asking and asking if it's going to come along this path and run into us but Mommy and Daddy keep telling me and telling me that it won't.
[Girls are leaning on each other for support, gasping for air.]
AGLHD: Wow. I bet you've never met a stranger, huh?
Mommy: Nope, pretty much everybody's a friend.
Girls: AWWWWWW. BYE!
AGLHD: Um, right. Well... bye.
Max: Okay, bye. [They leave. Max looks at Mom and Dad in consternation.] Why did I keep TALKING to them?!
Hmmmmm. It's a question I ask myself often...
Have Max call me if he figures out the answer.
Posted by: Procrastimom at October 28, 2007 09:22 PMThis is going to be strange, but I came across a post from Nov 19 2004. One of the pics you have in that post caught my eye. It's the third one from the right on the top row. The one of the boob with the glasses and the face. Is there any way you could send me the link of the site you got it from? If you can, email me at iamthevieve@yahoo.com. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't remember where that picture came from. It would have been in the first couple pages of a google image search for "boobs..."
Posted by: rjt at October 30, 2007 10:06 PMActually, now that I re-read that post, I linked to the source - The Sun UK, a british tabloid that regularly runs funny boob pictures. Good luck - it would have been a long, long time ago.
