We don't live too far from the infamous North Shore, where many surfers surf to live. Our Costco and Wal Mart are the closest ones to the North Shore.
Surfing isn't just for the sterotypical guys in their 20s. Some of the better surfers have been surfing for decades and are older. So, at Costco we see will see guys with bleached mullets, white matted hair, and blond locks. They most probably are surfers. And since these guys are so into growing the hair on their head, it is no surprise they have beards, and other facial hair.
Son1 has taken to shouting at the top of his voice...LOOK MOMMY I SEE SANTA at these men recently. This has been embarrassing. The other day I was in a hurry out of Costco, trying to avoid someone I hadn't seen in awhile. He was with his kids, and I knew that we would have to "talk story" as they say in Hawaii about their recent trip to the mainland. So I am pushing my cart as fast as it can go (they don't call them carts here, they are called wagons) and then Son1 belts out LOOK MOMMY THERE HE IS...THERE IS SANTA to precisely to the man I was trying to avoid. Luckily he didn't hear.

ReplyDeleteOK in case it gets any crazier and I forget
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I love that Son 1 tells it like it is! He must think you are pretty funny trying to hide out from Santa.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny - Abel laugh hard too (we first read it yesterday) And then today before our "storm" the family took a trip to Target...as we had just started our shopping Ethan yells, "Look everyone!!! It's Santa!!!" And we turn to see a white man with dark hair and eyes wearing a Santa hat. Abel and I just looked at each other, laughed and remembered your post. Too funny, our boys at age 3.5!! Still PG here with no contractions! I think we're on a holding pattern until who knows when! =)
