Is That Your Son?

Last night, after some quick shopping at Geant (TunisCity’s hyper market), just after paying, putting everything back into the cart, and seating Adam in the cart’s child seat; a security guy came up to me, pointed at some point behind me and asked if the boy he was pointing at was my son.

What was really weird is that I actually turned around, looked at the boy and then replied that he wasn’t my son.

As I was saying the words, I realized how stupid and absent-minded that all was; I mean, I just seated my only son in the cart in front of me, but then there I was looking behind me to see if some other kid was my son.

Eman laughed her head off at me, joking that I must have some hidden secret.

All I could think of is “Damn, I really need that vacation!”

  1. Mo.. you should have at least taken a picture of him. Leave it to us to see how much he resembels you… maybe you do have a secret :p

  2. Shopping with little ones: the time I was lugging our oldest daughter around in one of those backpack carriers, got home, lifted her out and discovered all the candy contraband she’d stuffed into the backpack. (Back to the store, embarrassingly returned the goodies.) After that, avoided all checkout aisles having candy displays.

  3. man you need to put in some extra effort and work on your hiding secret skills..or you may be in need for a vacation…
