kid with cape
i have had some interesting encounters at MickyD's. i can't stand the food but i take my GKs there quite a bit, because they love the indoor playground (a/c in summer and heated in winter). today i had to take my 7 year old grand daughter to cheer-leading. it was cold and wet. so afterward i took her and her 2 year old brother. there were a lot of kids there including a few of her cheer buddies. i got a few looks, but no one seemed upset by me OCing.
the main point was there was this one kid, looked to be about 4 or 5. he had on a red and yellow cape, PJ's and rubber boots. i swear he looked just like the kid from "Big Daddy". turned out his grandmother was a teacher at my GD's school. he first got excited when he seen my side arm at the counter, but his GM hushed him. in the play ground area we sat with others from the school. while my GKs were playing. he came over and acted the super hero. he just had to ask "why i had a gun" and i said it was because i was looking out for bad guys , so they would not hurt anyone. he smiled and said "ooh" like it made perfect sense to him. i hope i made a good impression on them so they would not be afraid in the future.
even got in a conversation with some of the girls about their dads and brothers had gone deer hunting. seemed like a lot of good experiences.
