Funny Stories

I can't Believe I forgot to post this story! It was hilarious!

Story #1
Before school started, Ryan and I took Dane to the McDonald's Playplace. When we got there two little boys were already playingin the play area as their grandma (I am guessing) watched.
Dane ran and started playing right away and one of the little boys (maybe 4-years-old) made his way over to Dane so that he had someone to play with besides his little brother. The kid was talking to Dane but Dane would just look at him with a smile and then would jump around (never leaving the ground) and squealing with excitement. As the boy was only getting blank stares from Dane and never a response, he turns to me and asks, "Can he talk?" I just say no and then he follows up with "Is he shy or just little?" I say - "he is just too little and doesn't know how to talk yet".
The little boy runs off and comes back maybe 5 minutes later and asks "Now can he talk?" I laugh and say "Nope, sorry". Ten to 15 minutes later the same boy comes back and asks "Is that boy talking yet?". I could not stop laughing because this kid's questions were so sincere and he wanted so badly for Dane to start talking so that they could play together. After the 3rd time of asking I think he realized that he was not going to start talking anytime soon so he just gave up.
As the boys' grandma was standing at the door yelling for them to hurry up, the little boy came up to me one last time and with excitement in his voice said "I'll see you tomorrow when you pick me up!" so I just said "okay!" and then he asks "Did you get the Sonic movie yet?" I feel bad because I continued to lead him on and replied "Nope, not yet. Hurry she's leaving you" as he turns to run to catch up to his grandma he yells back at me "Okay, Get it!. See you tomorrow!" I was dying at this point. This kid was such a crack up hopefully I will see my little friend next time I go back to McDonalds.


Story #2
Today my friend and I were walking across the parking lot at our complex. She was with her 2 kids and I was holding Dane's hand. As we were walking I noticed that Dane was walking slower and slower so I kept holding onto his hand trying to pull him to walk faster. After a couple more steps we were walking sooo slow that I can't tell if he is even moving at this point. I tugged on his hand and told him to "hurry up" -as I looked down at him I found his shorts around his ankles and he is walking like a penguin. Poor kid needs to get some meat on his bones. The good thing is that the boys now days think it is cool to wear their pants practically around their ankles so Dane fits right in!

Great stories, Carlie! Thanks for giving me a laugh. Caysja is the same as Dane. If you ever find belts for babies/toddlers, let me know! Her pants are always falling down.
