Stupid Things I Do At The Mall...

I hate the mall. It's always bad. But we've been there more than usual this last winter. Partly because we need to buy stuff for Hui-Hui, and partly because the weather has been so lousy it's one of the few places to take him and walk around. It's not like we have been there with any regularity, but a few times now, which is a lot of trips to the mall for me.

Anyway, on one of the last trips out there our oldest son Cam and his girlfriend Brittni came with us too. When we have Hui-Hui with us we indulge him a lot. Want to ride in the ride-on cars? Sure!

Then I'm looking at this ice-cream truck ride, And then I look at Cam. Cam is 6' 2". Now I'm enjoying watching Hui-Hui ride this thing, but I think I would enjoy watching my other son ride it even more. So I suggest he get in. Cam says they have weight limits on the rides and we'll get in trouble. I search the area around the ride-on cars. I can't find any posted rules or regulations anywhere. So I offer him $10 dollars if he'll get into the ice-cream truck. I hate it when I forget to take the digital camera with me, but fortunately my cell phone has a crappy built in cam...

That was worth $10.

Okay, now to redeem a bit of his dignity. Here's a picture we took a week ago at his last violin recital. He is standing with his Teacher Betsy. Cam has taken violin lessons with Betsy since he was 6 years old.
