Fun House

My 3-year-old son had become quite fond of the movie "Toy Story," particularly the cowboy character, Woody. He even cherished his special underwear we recently purchased, which was decorated with little drawings of Woody.

But at our next restaurant outing, he decided to show off his prized briefs to our waitress. As she began to take our order, my son stood up on his booster chair, pulled down his shorts, and said, "Look at my Woody!"

Of course she thought he was referring to something else. My husband and I had no choice but to leave her a bigger tip than usual.
