It’s been a long time since I’ve heard any pick up lines.
But I know it when I hear it.
Under any other circumstances, I might have delivered a scathing, caustic, blistering response designed to reduce the gentleman in question to self-loathing tears.
But I didn’t do it.
Because this gentleman was four years old.
He was wearing bright green pajamas.
With a yellow dinosaur on the belly.
I sat down on the floor and engaged him in a discussion about French fries.
Because that’s what you do.
Later, I spoke with his dad.
He ruefully explained that the kid already has a girlfriend in preschool.
This dad certainly has his hands full.
Guys, don’t try that dinosaur pajama trick.
It will backfire.
Once you’re over two-and-a-half feet tall, it’s not cute anymore.
