Can't blame him, he's a kid!

So we're walking to the grocery store. I tell the boy that we'll stop for something to eat at Whataburger first. I hit the Star Mart first to cash in $17 in scratcher tickets that I had in my purse. When we leave there, Joey asks me "What was that thing on that mans head?" I explain to him that it's called a Turban. That he probably came from far away, on the other side of the planet Earth - a place called India. He asks me if that's the desert, I tell him "Yes, I think so".

We go and eat. I had bought one more scratcher ticket and won $10. So we went back to the Star Mart (it's right next to the Whataburger...have to walk past it anyway to cross the stree to the store...I digress). So we go back inside. That same guy is there, along with another guy with a blue turban (first guy had a red one). Joey yells "Hey Mommy! There's another guy with a funny thing on his head!!!" *insert beet red face here*

The man goes over to Joey and says "What did you say?" in his best middle-eastern accent..okay, so it was natural. And Joey asks "Where did you come from?" He says "I am from far away, from a place called India". Joey replies "Ooooooooh, and what's that thing called?" and points to his turban. He explain that it's a turban, it's like a hat where they come from. Joey says "Oooooooh, did you live in the desert?" The man states that, Yes, it is in the desert.

Joey then says "Hey, I bet you have a lot a lot a lot of camels there! I've seen camels in the zoo!"

ROFLMAO

I think if that man had been drinking anything, it would have shot out his nose!!!
