A STAR TREK THANKSGIVING MORNING...
Let me paint this picture for you. I take my daughter and nephew downstairs to La Quinta's Continental breakfast this morning. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it wasn't. While I was fetching orange juice for my nephew who said he wanted lemonade, my daughter says, "Mommy?" Of course I quickly turn to her and say, "Yes?" She says, "These people keep looking at us." Well, I do what I feel any self-respecting parent would do. I ask her not to repeat what she said even though my nephew insists that she does by asking, "Why not?" I tell her because it's not a nice thing to say. Well, just when I think the worst is over after I've delivered freshly made waffles to the demanding tag team, I am so wrong. My nephew says, "Auntie Trice?" I again say, "Yes?" He says, "She was talking to a stranger and it's that man right there." Mind you, the man he's talking about is not a day under 75 years old and is staring right at me.
At this time I'm wishing Star Trek is more than a popular TV show because I want to scream, "BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!" To make matters worst, my mother and sister finally come downstairs and I immediately whisper to them, "I am never taking the kids to continental breakfast by myself ever again!" My sister looks over at my daughter and her son who are smiling and eating peacefully and says, "What's wrong? They look like they're having a good time." I say, "Of course they are, but believe me, it wasn't easy getting them that way."
My Thanksgiving morning is a prime example of "Kids saying the darndest things!!!"
