McDonald Disaster

Today Damon asked to go to McDonald's for dinner and since I had made plans to stop by one of my friends homes, I was not opposed. Damon told me what he wanted, so I ordered and we pull up to pay and the first thing Damon yells is: "Mom! That lady is old!!" She looked at me and the only thing I could do was puff out my cheeks and try not to laugh. I know I was beet red but I couldn't say anything. I just handed her my money said thanks and drove off...I forgot my change.

As soon as we left her "old butt" behind I explained to Damon there are just some things he can not say out loud or if he does it needs to not be in front of the person he is talking about. Our conversation went like this:

Me: Damon, you can't say stuff like that.
Damon: Why? She was old mom.
Me: Yes, but that might have hurt her feelings.
Damon: Doesn't she know she's old?
Me: She probably does but some people do not like to be reminded.
Damon: Okay.

I love how they are so honest to the obvious.
