This week, Chase was introduced to the Shrek movies. Along with the lovable, swamp living characters,
comes the catchy tunes that the characters belt out. Chase’s personal favorite has become donkey’s
rendition of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s, “I like big butts.” You know how the song goes, “I like big butts
and I cannot lie... (and so on and so on).”
Personally, this song disgusts me, but for a toddler, this tune is
rather catchy. Unfortunately, for me,
Chase doesn't always repeat the lyrics correctly.
Chase and I went on a lunch date this afternoon. He chose Burger King (only because that was
the only choice I gave him because I haven’t had a whopper in weeks and needed
my fix in order to stop the shakes). It
seems as though our timing for lunch wasn't that great. A group of construction workers formed a
large line ahead of us. Chase was
standing next to a middle aged construction worker with dirty hands, a fluorescent
yellow shirt and a dirty blonde mullet. Chase decided to strike up a conversation with
this man. This is nothing out of the ordinary;
Chase likes to make small talk with strangers in public when I am within arms
reach.
First, Chase and the man talked
about what they were going to order for lunch and what type of beverage they
were going to get from the soda fountain to drink.
Right after a root beer conversation, things got creepy- real fast. Chase looked the worker in the eyes and
announced without a squeak in his voice, “I like your butt- that’s no lie.” (He even added a little but wiggle to this
compliment.) The burly construction
worker and his coworkers must have heard Chase’s flattering remark as clear as day
because the worker’s cheeks became rosy and his buddies heckled him the rest of
their lunch break.
Needless to say, Chase and I ate quickly and got the heck out of
there before Chase handed out any more compliments.
Oh why, oh why, can’t my child just sing Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star?
