My wife and I are walking along late this afternoon in a shopping complex when a security person in an SUV stops his vehicle and motions for us to walk towards him. I quickly checked a few things because this seemed like strange behavior for an officer towards my wife. I don’t have long hair currently. I’m not in a car, so seatbelts are not an issue. I’m not showing my midriff. My son is happy. My wife and I are both walking on the sidewalk. I haven’t stolen anything. I didn’t spit.

In short, I’m wondering why on earth security needs me. In my past, this is 9 times out of 10, a bad thing.

He said, “I just had to tell you that your son is very cute.” He went on to explain that he had a six month old at home and that his child and ours both have really big eyes.

What a great day this has been. I have official confirmation that our son is so cute that he can literally stop a moving vehicle.

Yeah, I also saw Cars, but our son is totally cute. And it’s not just me saying that.

    That is the funniest, sweetest thing I’ve read in a really long time. And, coming from you it just makes it all the better. I’m smiling large, Dude!

    Really cool. I had a older guy talk with my daughter in the grocery store last week. Had her do speech stuff and complemented her a lot. I was proud of her but also had a concern because of the age we live in. I’m so glad yours turned out great and was encouraging.
