Momo Fali's: He Gets it Naturally

He Gets it Naturally

My daughter and son recently stayed at my mom's house for the night and she treated them to dinner at a local restaurant.

The three of them were seated in a booth directly next to two men. My mom said that one of guys looked very disheveled, and the other had a beard down to his waist.

As much as my mom told him not to, my seven year old son could not stop staring. Finally, one of the men started to talk to my boy.

And, because my mom knows my son's history, she quickly turned to the bearded man and said, "You probably shouldn't ask him any questions. He's very honest."

Nice, Mom. Now we know where my son learned how to be so subtle.

I am sitting over here laughing hysterically and my youngest is looking at me. This was great and so was the backstory on your son's history.
Happy Father's Day to Mr. Fali and to all the dad's in your life!

Ah yes. Young children and older adults. Both ages where people don't have a care about what they say out loud.... ;)

Why be subtle when you can be outright :)

That was probably the most tactful expression of bluntness I think I've ever come across. Brilliant!

I love when grandparents pass on family heritage to their grandchildren. That's priceless.

I love him because he ISN'T subtle. Who wants to be subtle? At least he's interesting ;)

Well, thing is, how long until you start doing the same thing?

Too funny. It only takes one or two times though where you as a kid say something 'honest' to someone and realize that it makes them feel bad. Unfortunate that it happens, but for me as a kid it was a big lesson.

Classic. Sounds like your mom might be a little overly honest, too.
