Anakin he is not ... this time anyhow.

A while back we took the kids to the Newport Aquarium. Lotsa fun .... lotsa money. Hand in hand right? Anyhow, we stop by to purchase the picture of ourselves in the birdcage. We see they have those pictures where they super impose your face onto someone else. So, you can be Indiana Jones if you are feeling up to par. My son is a Star Wars nut. And by nut I mean he will be one of those 40 year old men sleeping outside of the movie theater the night before it comes out. We see that he can be Anakin. Well, why not we think. So, we tell Tyler if he stands really still, we can make him look like his idol. We must have simply lost our ability to reason. I mean, c'mon, he is a 3 year old. that is like putting a bull in ballet slippers. There really is no point to it. But, we try anyhow. So, he is bouncing like a kid on speed and we are getting a bit flustered. All of a sudden he stops. In my head I am screaming at the girl to SNAP the PICTURE. He is 3 and you only have about a 2 and half second window here, lady. When all of a sudden Tyler yells ....

"Mom ! My tee tee is hanging out !!"

Stop. Rewind. Yes, that's right folks. Not only is he 3, but he is very observant. I stop and get things situated and we politely but very quickly leave the booth.

Moral of the story: 3 year olds are not comfortable in boxer briefs. While they may be cute, they are not a great idea.
