my uncle always tells this story (my dad used to but he passed away):

Think 1972.
My whole family - mother, father, aunt, uncle and my cousins - all pile into a beater Ford Econoline Van and head out to the park. We used to picnic and camp all the time.

So we pull into the parking lot at the park and just as we start to pile out of the van an old couple pulls up next to us.

Now my cousin and are about five or six years old and we're just ascute as any kids could be. So this old couple sees us both and they start in on how cute we are. "Oh aren't they just the cutest little boys you've ever seen?" "How old are you?" "What's your name?" You know the whole cute-kid-spiel that is requisite for old people.

So i turn to my cousin and say, "Come on little fucker, let's go play."
I guess we weren't THAT cute after all.
