Like Mother, Like Son

One of the stories from my childhood that has been told umpteen times is the one about the first time I got to go Christmas shopping with my parents. We went over to my grandparents' house afterwards and I ran in and said "Grandma, we bought you a bedspread for Christmas!" My mom overheard and yelled "Kim-ber-ly!" I got all teary-eyed and said, "But I didn't tell her it was RED!"

Well, today we could definitely tell Thomas was my son. We went out to eat today for my dad's birthday. We picked up my parents on the way to the restaurant (Joe T. Garcia's which is an awesome place to eat...great ambiance and food). When they got into the car, Thomas said, "Happy Birthday party Grandpa!" Grandpa said thanks. Then Thomas said, "I buy you movie, Grandpa." We all started laughing and then my mom said "Well, at least you don't know what kind of movie it is." And Thomas said, "I buy you BEAR movie, Grandpa!" We'd bought him Brother Bear which might sound like a goofy movie to give a 57 year old man but it's what he wanted. :-)
