Lily's fan club

Tonight at dinner Lily was the hit of the restaurant! Not only did she have the attention of the staff, but also of other guests! We had the funniest conversation with the kids from the adjacent table. It was so strange and silly at the same time! I'm guessing they were around 6 and 8 years old.

Upon our arrival at the table...

Little brother: (Polite, but surprised) Excuse me...I never seen a baby with earrings before!

Eric: Yes, well. She told us she wanted to get her ears pierced, so we got it done.

Little brother: (Laughing) Oh my!

Older brother: (Highly suspicious of Eric) Hmmm...She seems awfully young to be speaking.

Eric: (Caught of guard by the kid's resistance) Well, she told us through sign language.

Older brother: (Sarcastically) She signs?!

Eric: (Laughing) Yes, my wife taught her.

Older brother: (Looking over at me for a reaction) Uh...

Sarita: No, he's just kidding!

The boys left the table as our food arrived, but our interaction didn't end there.

Little brother: (Attempting to hug Lily) She's so cute. I wish she was my baby. What's her name?

Sarita: (Hesitant about the kid touching Lily) Her name is Lily.

Eric: Well, maybe one day you will have a baby!

Little brother: (Still trying to hug Lily) Hi, Lily.

Eric: (Now also hesitant about the kid touching Lily) She doesn't really know what a hug is yet or how to do it.

Little brother: Maybe we can babysit her?

Sarita: (Trying to pacify the kid and eat dinner) Maybe!

Little brother: I'll give your our phone number. Its XXX-XXXX.

Sarita: (Still eating) Thanks!

The talk with the boy ceased and we returned to our own conversation. But then a whisper interrupted.

Little brother: (Hand over his mouth) Hey! Hey! Our number is XXX-XXXX. I'll write it down.

And two seconds later, he was back at our table with his number written in crayon on a napkin! Honestly, it was too difficult for anyone to read anyway, but his older brother was close behind. He inspected the napkin and was noticeably disturbed.

Sarita: (To older brother) You can take that back if you want.

Older brother: (To little brother) You gave them our number! You gave them mom and dad's number. That's wrong! That's just wrong!
