I'll admit it. I have a cute kid. Even if he wasn't mine, i'd still think he was a cutie patootie. I also admit that our shopping trips take at least a half-hour longer because folks want to oogle him. We get the expected comments "He's so cute" "look at those big brown eyes" "i love his hair" etc.
But we got the strangest comment/conversation during a recent shopping trip. River and I were perusing the pharmacy section while James waited on a prescription. A guy who could probably replace Bernie Mac in the Kings of Comedy smiled at me a few times and nodded at River. He mumbled. Most folks wouldn't have known what he said, but since I have a lot of uncles (and a daddy) who could be members of the Kings of Comedy, i speak southern-drawl-black man. He was saying River was a good looking young man.
When James walked up to us, Pharmacy Bernie Mac gave James a fist bump (i was proud that James knew what to do!). While fist bumping, Bernie Mac said:
That's a good looking boy you got there. You didn't get him from Wal-Mart. Nope, that kid was made in the bedroom!
And then he did a creepy grunt/giggle.
How do you respond to that?! James, who doesn't speak southern-drawl-black man, didn't think he heard him correctly. But oh yeah, that's what he said.
So yes ladies and gents, you do not get Rivers at Wally World. They are strictly made in the bedroom.

I used to bother my mother when I was little as to where she bought me. Things came from stores, so I figured I came from Safeway.
Lol...I was made in the back of an El Camino...that's where Lil' Womans are made ;)
Damn. I made my wife stop going to Walmart after the second kid. I guess that's why we have four.
the hell? that was creepy.
Oh man, I almost fell out of bed laughing at that. Awesomeness!
