Gi-Ant!

I did this quiz the other day. . it's supposed to tell you how old you are. It guessed I was 26. . I'm 25! Anyway, it reminded me of what happened to us this weekend when we went out to eat. I will leave out where this happened, I don't want to get in trouble for bashing some crazy restaurant chain. We went to have the buffet (I like then buffet!. . . to get off the subject, honey we should listen to that buffet comedian again.. skinny people shouldn't go to the buffet or something like that.. haha, it's funny). So we went to have the buffet okay... and Landen gets charged. This isn't that big of a deal, it's not like we were saving money to go to the 'buffet', but the point is he's 2, he ate some pudding and maybe a bread stick. So, Kurt sends me to the register to figure out the mistake. I politely (because I don't really like confrontation all that well) ask what the age is for the buffet. (I'm liking to say Buffet.. I keep saying it out loud every time I type it - geek, I know) well it's free until your 4, then you have to pay.. sounds find to me. I just say "well my son just turned 2," you know what happened.. the guy looks at him and says "he sure is big for 2" (like he totally thought I was lying). HELLO. . I said "he might be a little tall *goofy look on my face* but if you talked to him, you'd clearly see he's only 2". The guy took it off, no problem and it was all said and over with. But seriously people - who mistakes a just two year old for a four year old? I just had to laugh at the situation, but it really was quite strange. I guess I'm going to call Landen the Gi-Ant for now on. He's Gigantic to some and a little Ant to others. Haha! So I just saw that on a Word show today, this gi-ant thing... I had to use it. =D There's the picture of the Gi-Ant, what do you think!?!?!

This made me laugh b/c when Landon and I were surprising Andy with a milkshake at his office this week, he introduced us to some of his clients. They said, "How old is he...four?"..I told them Landon was two and they gave me this weird skeptical, almost disgusted (but not as strong) look and said, "Hmm!" What does that even mean? He's sooooo "two" to me. And I like it that way...Don't fast forward him to four--Jeez people!

This was always a prob with the twins since they are HUGE. People can be pretty rude when they expect a kid to behave much older than they really are.
