"Well, you know, Dad..."

I posted this story elsewhere, but it's a little dead down here so I thought I'd kick the cobwebs by rousing you with a quick, little story about my son. Indulge a dad for a moment...

We decided to order take out from a local restaurant that we frequent. The place is always packed; the lobby always full.

I took my son, 6, with me to get him out of the house. I wasn't paying attention as I was trying to steer us through the crowd to the take out counter.

As we get to the counter, my son tugs at my arm and gives me a confused look. "Dad, some girl just ask if she could sit with me at dinner." A little strange, but whatever. We get our carryout and start making our way back through the lobby.

On the way back out, the girl gives my boy the googly eyes the entire way through the lobby. She even steps in front of him and just stares at him.

On the way to the car, I tell him, "I think that girl liked you."

To which my son says, "Well, you know, Dad, I *am* pretty handsome."

"Oh, you are, are you?"

"Yeah," he says. "I've even given myself a nickname: Mr. Handsome."

The teen years with this one are going to be entertaining.

Do you have any stories about your kids that just make you shake your head?
