I pick my son Andy up from preschool every Wednesday morning so we can go out for lunch - something he calls "our boy time date." I let him choose the restaurant, and we enjoy a little one-on-one time.
This past Wednesday he wanted to go to the IHOP, which was A-Okay with me. After lunch, I wanted to stop by the mall to pick up a new pair of sunglasses, so we pulled into the mall parking lot and started toward the stores.
We just so happened to park in the Macy's parking lot at the mall. As this picture reveals, Macy's logo incorporates a large red star at the beginning of its name, and a small black star in place of an apostrophe. Well, Andy being in preschool, he is fascinated by letters right now. He calls out each letter, trying to spell the words he sees.
As we walked toward Macy's entrance, Andy said, "Look Dad - STAR, M, A, C, Y, STAR, S. STARBUCKS. I love Starbucks, don't you, Dad?
Just a little chuckle for your day, my friends.
You know, I think of this story every time I see a Macy's. And I usually retell it if I'm with someone who hasn't heard it already. It's always good for a chuckle.
