Bookstore adventures

Took Xander and Jason to Half Price Books for their Memorial Day, 20% off, sale and spent way too much money. When we were paying, an older asian man, chinese, I believe, came up and tapped Xander on the chin.

'Do you see this?' he asked, 'I once knew a very famous man, a man who was the leader of his country. He had something like this on his chin. This one will be an important man when he grows up!'

Then he asked 'What is his name?'

'Alexander' I answered.

The gentleman's eyes widened. 'ALEXANDER! Ah, the great leader! This one will be King of America some day!'

Then, confidentially to me, 'He is very good talker. He is very verbal!'

Yes, it goes on.
