Other night out for dinner at a nice non-chain steak house.
Have a ten year old in tow. Seated at the table, server brings
menus and then puts a paper place mat and cup of crayons
in front of the ten year old. He looks down at it (server having
left already, the kid is NOT rude!) and up at me with eyebrows
raised. Gramma (me!) says "Wow, you're waaay too old for that,
aren't you?" He says: "I'm quite insulted, actually" and I had
to giggle. I took the items from in front of him and set them
on the chair beside me., and got a thank you.
Love that kid. :-4

Or your grandson could have done a quick "portrait" of the server, signed it, and handed it back to the server with a smile.

My daughter is 13 1/2 and they still ask if we need a childrens menu. Once in a while she can't help herself and says sure... loves the crayons.:wah:
I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

Walking my boy to school yesterday we saw some teenagers who were clearly looking for trouble. He commented on troublesome "older" boys. I asked him, "At least you won't turn out like that, eh?" He replied, "Who knows dad, what I will be like in the future." All of that wisdom and he's only 6 years old.
