Last weekend while Nate was out of town golfing, Harrison & I met up with my buddy Shannon & her little boy for a breakfast play date at Chick-fil-A. Harrison & his pal had a wonderful time in the play area, spinning the wheel, pointing out the animals, & just basically being wild guys. I was half-expecting them to tap a keg & start jumping off the roof into the swimming pool, they were having that awesome of a time.
Then a little girl with a bob haircut walked in with her daddy. She began spinning the wheel, smiling over at the boys & Harrison…well, he fell in love. Stars in his eyes, his entire face lit up & he toddled over to her. She quickly turned her back to him, but the damage was already done & my sweet boy wrapped his chubby little arms around her in a hug.
She glared over her shoulder, stalked a few paces to the left. But Harry was not to be deterred & he followed her, arms outstretched. With a smile, he wrapped his arms around her again & laid his head on her shoulder.
“Daddy!” she shrieked. “That boy won’t stop touching me!”
This is where Shannon & I promptly lost our shit & laughed so hard that we had tears rolling down our faces. Because this little girl is desperately trying to get away & my clueless little 16-month-old with no social skills is practically tripping over his velcro Nikes to get to her. Just to give her a hug, which would be totally sweet if he weren’t being kind of creepy about it.
Because he’s being all “EXCUSE ME, CAN I HAVE YOUR NUMBER?!” & she’s like, “NO, DARRELL.”
Hahahahahah!! Ryann is available, hint hint wink wink.
Hahaha! I’m usually the reluctant hug-ee; my best friend is about twice my size and he hugs so enthusiastically that he knocks me down all the time!
Ha! Love it! I have a litte boy that turned 16 months this Wednesday. He has a little girlfriend at daycare. One day while she was napping, he kept walking up to her crib, grabbing the crib slats, and trying to shake the crib to wake her up. I thought it was so cute, but was definitely worried what ‘girlfriend’s’ parents would think of my little stalker.
Oh my gosh… hilarious!
My kid is the one that will give another kid the stink eye for random hugging!
Uhh, yeah, I just wanna let you know the back of your head IS RIDICULOUS….
bahahhahahaha… LOVE THIS!!!!!
BEST LINE EVER. ::falls over laughing::
This is equal parts hilarious, sweet, and creepy, LOL. And you paint such a great visual picture.
Thanks for posting this. I woke up kinda in a a funk this morning and this just made me snort coffee out of my nose. Hilarious stuff!
Um, if I were you I SO would have stepped in and been all, “MY KID IS THE CUTEST LITTLE BOY OF ALL TIME! HUG HIM BACK NOW!”
But then again, if I was there, I would have just made my little girl, Hallie, hug little Harry until his face turned purple.
Hallie and Harry sound quite good together!
None of that made sense. Whatever.
you forgot the part that his head was approx. booty level.
best pick up at the local CFA goes to Harrison for being damn persistant!
“but daddy he keeps following me”….
I DIE. I hate to think of our playdates in the next few years. Watch out girls, here he comes!!!
The best part was how UNAMUSED the father was while we were clutching at each other to keep from falling over.
Man! Little boys and their crushes. I have three boys so you can imagine how much I can relate to this. Go Harry!
So sweet! It is moments like this that make my heart want to explode into a million pieces. Leah is 20 mos & “available!”
She is approx 32″, blond hair, blue eyes, and likes long walks! lol!
Can I have it? Can I have it? Could I have it? WHAT’S YOUR NAME, DELICATE?
Haha! Poor Harrison trying to get some lovin. I love that he cuts right to the chase and didn’t hand out any cheesy one liners!
Awww…that sounds soo cute! Sweet Harry!
Love this! His first mini-crush!
Harrison’s new hang out place “Chic-fill-her-up!”
This reminds me of a situation we had recently at Chic Fil A (what is it with that place?).
My 2 year old saw a little girl, probably the same age, and he pointed and her and said, “I loves her. I loves her lots. But I no likes her hair. Cut it at hair place?” Um the Mom didn’t like the fact that I was cracking up and not apologizing for this (he, btw, has a fascincation with Sports Clips and loves getting his hair did).
LOL! His first case of rejection! Hopefully this doesn’t happen again to him for a long time!
that would be “feel” and not “fill”! Geesh i’m glad it’s friday!!
Harrison = DENIED!
Every morning when I take my daughter to daycare, a little boy in her class goes crazy when he sees her. Screaming, smiling, pointing, jumping, then he runs over and gives her a big hug. She is completely oblivious as she is usually looking around for her breakfast or toys. She shakes him off and carries on.
I feel so bad for that little boy. He’s cute too.
Ahh… thank you for this perspective. If it was me & my boy, I’d probably have felt all bad like I have to protect his tiny heart even though he’s so OBLIVIOUS! Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
I love this. Gavin is just like Harrison…only he does it with older women…ummm seriously every single woman we pass…he tries to hug them. I need to buy him this shirt I saw….COUGAR BAIT.
This post made me laugh so hard. Gavin was giving me this look like, “really Mama, really?! Ya. He does that a lot.
