After our family photo session yesterday we decided on the Chinese buffet for lunch.
They had place-mats on the tables that talked about the different animals associated with the Chinese years. Like year of the dog, year of the chicken. There was a picture of each animal on the place-mat.
After I got my food I told David they had duck on the buffet. We had just watched an episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown made duck. (David is a big Alton Brown.)
So David looks down at the place-mat, points to the pictures and says, “And they have have chicken, and pig, and monkey…”
Yep.
He thought the place-mat was the menu.
On the way out David asked me for a penny to throw in the koi pond near the exit. Next thing I know he’s leaning over the edge of the pond holding the penny up in the air like he’s waiting for something.
He wasn’t making a wish. He was trying drop the penny on a fish!
Leave it to David turn the koi pond into a game of skill.
Fortunately he missed.
Otherwise they might of had some goldfish to serve with that monkey.

That is too funny! Thank goodness he missed the fish, lol!
Coins on the koi? That cracks me up! I’m stunned that my 6-year-old hasn’t thought of it – he’s *that* competitive, too.
I am proud of you for even trying family pictures. That was on my to do list this year and it didn’t get done. I always have an excuse. I need to lose 10 lbs, my hair looks bad, etc etc. Good for you. Oh and you took a great picture. Your boys are too cute.
