Today Chamberlain and I actually left the house. I just cant bring myself to leave our warm house on these, oh so cold days. However, today I wanted to get out and lunch time sounded like it would be the best time to go. Further, thinking, I thought lets ask uncle Truett if he would like to join us for lunch. Then, I got this tasty idea, to go to, In-n-Out! I was hoping the newness had rubbed off and it wouldn't be busy. I was wrong, but It was good.
Now to the Random.
As Truett, Chamberlain and I were standing in a very very long line packed tight like sardines. I was literally standing shoulder to shoulder with Truett when this huge, as in, tall bulky (not fat) guy, more like college student, kept looking back at us (as he was in front of us waiting for his order). He finally gathered up the nerve to say to us, "when you two have kids they are going to be huge!" Obviously he had not seen Chamberlain running in and out of the line. Truett looks at him in disgust like "please we are related". I so kindly replied "this is my brother." The Guy immediately looks at my ring finger, (lucky today I wore a ring) and goes well you are going to have huge kids no matter who you marry. Which at this point Im thinking in my head "am I supposed to be taking this as a compliment or what!" When Truett finally chimes in and say's "Her husband is tall like me and bigger". Chamberlain finally realizes this strange man is talking to us and immediately makes himself known! Then the Guy is like "oh, is this yours?" Followed by a "he's huge how old is he?" the rest of our conversation goes like this

Me: "He just turned three"
Guy: " He is going to be huge, he is huge!!!"
Me: "Yes, I like to think of my marriage more of an investment" (Jokingly might I add)
Guy: "Well too bad you aren't black!"
Me: "Right!?"
Guy: " He is going to be huge, he is huge!!!"
Me: "Yes, I like to think of my marriage more of an investment" (Jokingly might I add)
Guy: "Well too bad you aren't black!"
Me: "Right!?"
I mean what am I supposed to say to that. "Too bad you aren't black." Honestly. I just had to laugh, who say's that, but, no really, who say's that out loud! WHO?
I actually get this a lot it used to be wow your tall do you play ball? Now since I look like a mom I get you have got to have tall kids. All of my tall friends get this same thing. But this is my FIRST, "too bad you aren't black!"
I wish I would have remembered to take my phone in so I could have taken a picture of the dufus! He watched us the whole time we were there! People, where are your manners!

Ash, that is hilarious. It's amazing how inappropriate some people are! I loved your "investment" comment. I'm amazed it didn't shut him up. I wonder who taught him his social skills (or lack thereof)?
This is pretty funny, Ash. I can see your face right now when he asked you that...!! :)
Dufus for sure. Then again, you have to kind of expect that behavior from anyone that would stand in a line that long for a burger (ha ha).
The Christmas Festival looks amazing- go Chamberlain girls!
