It takes alot for me to be surprised at what comes out of Kenny's mouth these days. Especially when we're out in a store for example. I'm used to the " Mommy I'm a big boy now, I need some oomaloons" ( balloons). Or " Mommy come see what I found!" and my favorite '"Aww Mommy, this flamingo is special to me...I have it? Meeeease?"
He is often entertaining those around him while standing in line with his enthusiastic conversations with himself. He is of course, completely oblivious to this. So we went in a store to get some general supplies today and we went through all the things I mentioned above. The excitement of Batman bubble bath was enough to appease the toddler and we made it in line without any whining. He, like any child, sees something while standing in line and wants to go over and check it out. And me, like any mother, calls as quietly but as firmly as possible to " come over here." So while I'm calling for him to get back in line he stops and looks at the gentleman in front of us as if he had pushed his way in line and says " oh...go ahead."  The man in front of me looked at me and all I could say was " Did he just tell you to go ahead?" He nodded and I buried my head in my hands. Apparently he thought he was being really gracious. It did show great use of manners at least :). I think I stood in line laughing until  I was heading out the door. I actually don't remember but it seemed like a long time. Maybe this is only funny to me, or one of those cases where you have to be there to fully get it. But if you happen to have a three year old give you permission to " go ahead" maybe it'll give you a good laugh :).
