A Showstopper

A few weeks ago, Kristina turned the big three-oh, and the family went to Disney World to celebrate.  It was Luke, however, who really made a name for himself down there.

Upon arrival, the trio headed to Downtown Disney, where they had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  Sure puts eating in the kitchen at home to shame, with all of the animitronic elephants and gorillas and thunder and rain.  Then, B&K did what a lot of other parents do while at Disney World, they bought young Luke a "mouse ears" hat.  But they were not prepared for what would happen when they put the hat on.  It was a showstopper.  Scores of people gawked and gushed and told their friends to gawk and gush.  It was as if they had never seen a child in a mouse-ears hat before.  Disney employees, who presumably had seen one or two, were just as excited.  One woman pointed out Luke to her entire travelling group, and said "Just wait until he turns his head".  To which of course he did, starting a new round of gushing.  Luke has always enjoyed the attentions of the little old ladies everywhere from the supermarket to FDR's house, but this was something else.
