Refused to Pose

He would have none of it. Not happening. There wasn't even the most minuscule, remote chance that Collin was going to pose for a blog picture in his work apron. He was so closed minded when I asked him. But now that you see me in it, you can surely imagine how adorable he looks.

He has been so glad to hang up his clod-stomping work boots in exchange for the black apron and Guest Check tablet. He has done outdoor work for years. Cleaning stalls, weed wacking, mowing during allergy season, enduring the rain and cold, sweating out the hottest summer days ... he was ready to move up to less-manual labor. Now he is taking dinner orders from the most aged in our community at an assisted living facility near the college. He is still getting to know the old people he is serving. The other day a married couple was sitting at a table together. He went up to take their order and the old lady said (use your best old lady voice when you read this!), "Hi. My name is Marilynn and this is Bob and you spell Bob with only one 'o'."

Okay ... side note. In China, all the cute Chinese girls would make the sideways "v" hand sign in pictures. (Like I'm doing in Collin's apron.) Here is a picture from China with the waitresses doing it:Try it next time someone wants your picture. It's all the rage in China. (smile)
