Ok, now that I have your attention...............

Last week was my 5 year old sons bday. It was during the week and most of us were still sick (bronchitis).

Even thou I was in horrible pain and weakness, I still tried to make it special.

I had said to him that as long as we were all feeling better we would celebrate your bday on the weekend. Where would you like to go? The Zoo, IHOP, Chucky cheese (my DH glared)? My DH butts in and says Hooters?
Yes, yes, mommy I want to go to Hooters. Please.

So all week i had to hear about Hooters. Now, let me say I do like hooters!
The food is consistant and all 4 boys(DH included) are pretty well behaved.

so last night and this morning all he could talk about was Hooters. So i asked him Why does he like hooters so much. He said it makes him happy. He gets to go there and eat food he likes. Then after asking him again.....
He gets this big grin on his face and says its because all the pretty girls talk to me !!!!!!

So, How can I say no!!!!

FYI: for those of you that dont know, my son Eric is considered high functioning autistic. He is usually in his own "world" and getting him to express his feelings about anything is a chore. But he was more than willing to talk about this!!!!!

Just wanted to share a bright side of my day~~~~

Proud mommy of 3 little ones. Eric 5yo; JP 3yo; Alex 2 yo; and 1 big one Joe 45y.o. Not to mention all my furry ones

*lol* Take the kid to Hooters!! *grin* I had to take my son who is either HF Autistic or Aspergers to "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" 2 week ends ago.. he loves it. I am a pushover.. my kids are very respectful and sweet but I want them to be happy. I heard Hooters had good wings

Would you believe that I have never been to Hooters???

I'm so glad it made your son happy, though, MM.

All the pretty girls make him happy. What a charmer! You are gonna have to lock him up at 16. he is clearly too sweet.

Happy Birthday kiddo!

Happy Birthday, Eric! Enjoy your time at Hooters with all the pretty girls!

Mom - Keep an eye on that boy. LOL. Very cute story. Thanks for sharing it.

"Hooters" at 5 yrs old?? I am getting such a kick out of this thread..

Leave the 45 yr old home...LOL!!

Happy Birthday to MM's little Hooter Owl.

god bless the smart lad, and I hope he has fun with all the attention, sure beats eating dinner at home watching the boobtube, I mean tv

That's funny at 5 yo!!! You may have your hands full once he hits the teen years!!

Trying to pick my words carefully as not to come across as a jerk or pig but...

Me and my sons could of told you that years ago!

Gabriel is 6. Andrew's 5. My boys!

When I taught all(almost) of young unmarried and smart teachers and assistants were really, really pretty (now I see our boss a different way!!)
One of my 14 year old students asked me "Mrs. H., doesn't it bother sometimes to be around all these young, pretty girls?" My own Hotters H***.
