Kids Are Funny

Yesterday I was at Kohls doing Brooke's emergency pajama run. A woman and her son were shopping through the boys department and I couldnt help but overhear their conversation....

Mother: Here, try this coat on. If you like it, I will buy it for you for next year.

Son: Its HUGE!

Mother: Its big now, but it wont be big next year. Do you like it?

Son doesnt say anything but perhaps he nodded/shook his head or something, I wasnt looking at them. (I was eavesdropping, not staring!)

Mother: This is a really great deal, but I cannot return it. I need to know if you like it. If you like it, you have to promise to wear it next year.

Son: What does "econ" mean?

This question sparked my curiosity and so I turned to look. The boy was wearing this massive jacket, looking at himself in the mirror. He was reading the logo on his jacket, except he was looking at it in the mirror...thus reading it backwards :)
