Poor Dude, Probably Not the Image He Was Going For June 12, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Church, Daily Life, Princess Hannah , add a commentHannah and I went to the mall today to buy some essential things, which is my least favorite kind of shopping. It is depressing to spend money on stuff you need. It’s like buying gasoline. No one wants to pay for it, and I have never known anyone to come home excited after purchasing gasoline. Or heck, deodorant, or socks, or toothpaste for that matter. Somehow, spending money on things you don’t necessarily need, but want, is MUCH, MUCH, MORE REWARDING.
Too bad today wasn’t one of those days.
We had lunch in the mall food court, and while I was trying to convince Hannah to eat a curly fry (she is not like normal children who gobble up fries and chicken nuggets) she looked at someone behind me and smiled a HUGE SMILE. For a split second, I thought maybe she saw someone we knew . . .
Interrupting my thought, she pointed, smiled, and said in her loudest outside voice, “JESUS!” Lo and behold, there was a dude in line at Subway sandwiches, with long brown curly hair, that looked just like Jesus. Except, this dude was wearing black skinny jeans, converse shoes, chains on his belt, and he was carrying a skate board.
I almost (and really, I mean ALMOST) walked up to him to tell him my 22 month old child thought he was Jesus, and if you in fact are Jesus, (which I’m positive he wasn’t) she would like an autograph.
I know kids say the funniest things as they get older, and today was just a little piece of what’s to come out of my little one’s mouth. It’s times like this that make “necessity shopping” totally worth it.
