Kimono'ed comments

[Red Lioness]

I went out shopping for my birthday and wore my favorite kimono. After shopping, I stopped by a restuarant for a good meal. I walked in in all my unorthadox glory and two little boys (about 6-9 years old) imediately took notice.

One's loud comment was: 'Why is that lady wearing that?'

The other boy's 'informed' reply. 'It's a kimono! That means she's Chinese; duh!'

I about fell off of my chair laughing.



Here's a shot a friend took of me when we were getting ready for a performance.

Thats funny stuff, out of the mouth of babes...
The other day I had a little girl come up to me at the dentists office to ask why I was wearing a skirt, I had to tell her it was in fact a kilt, I dont know if she believed me.

This reminded me of something that happened years ago: I was standing in line (in a department store) waiting to checkout, just behind a twenty-something mother and her daughter (who may have been all of five years old). The girl turns and looks up at me and smiles so I smile back and look away. Not ten seconds later, I felt a tug at my sleeve and...

"Hey mister! Hey mister!"

"Yes?"

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

"Um...I don't really know."

"WHO CARES??!!"

I had to laugh out loud not only because of her answer but she actually said all of that without missing a beat. Out of the mouths of babes, indeed.
