Pad-see-Who's That Girl?
So tonight Karyn and I went out to dinner with my bro-in-law Justin and our niece Lucy at Thai Pavillion in downtown Rockville. My sister and other niece Madelyn are in San Diego visiting family so the four of us were looking forward to a bonding dinner.
So we got there and there were about 10 people in the whole restaurant (Hmmm, softening U.S. economy or the fact that it was 5:30pm? - you make the call). When we sat down, Lucy asked as usual Aunt Karyn, I want to sit next to you. Then the waitress came by and started taking our drink orders. Justin, lemonade, Uncle Howie and Aunt Karyn, diet coke then the waitress looked at Lucy and said and you sir?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Lucy was wearing a brown shirt with sparkling pink hearts on it!!!! And, oh by the way, she looks like a girl. The amusing thing was that Lucy, who is quite frankly the world's smartest 6 year old (and no I am not just being biased) quickly said... Why did that waitress call me sir, she should have called me ma'am? I guess if I had earrings on, she would have been able to tell...
We all laughed hysterically because kids really do say the darnedest things....

Funny because I was at Subway today getting lunch and the woman working the bread cutting station in the Subway assembly line called me sir. Then corrected herself with ma'am. I mean my hair is pulled up today but I think the womanly bodyparts that can be seen even when fully clothed is a telltale sign that indeed I am a ma'am. Though considering the bread lady seemed to have a very limited use of the English language she may have just gotten the masculine and feminine confused. So you tell Lucy that it happens to the best of us!
Would it be an over reaction to send a posse to that waitron and beat it severly about the head and neck? How about a little advice...patrons under 2 feet tall - don't use Sir or Ma'am! Really, Lucy is all girl. I mean, the haircut alone should be a tip off! I feel like the Tin Man with steam coming out of my ears...
Great Aunt Lo
