Kinda funny story
 

So I'm coming out of perpetual lurking to share a kinda funny thing that happened to me to today.
Every Friday I go to Panera to use their free wifi and indulge in a bagel.
It's a few blocks away so just a short walk. Well I was walking down the street and a stressed looking mom was tugging and trying to corral two rowdy boys down the street. Probably about 6-7 years old. This one boy points to me and yells "fat man." Now, I'm not, nor have I ever been, one to get upset by such a thing, but I was slightly crestfallen because I woke up this morning and discovered I was down another pound, which made 3 down over the past week so I was kinda on cloud nine....full of confidence...all that jazz. Well the boy keeps on saying it, like 3 times, trying to get his moms attention. My next thought was "omg! Do I look like a man?" so, now im just puzzled.
Finally the mom acknowledges the kid and looks at me and goes "yep, that's Batman" ...
Yeah, I had a batman shirt on. The kid was excited at seeing batman. So now I'm back up on cloud nine and feeling good about myself.

LOL!
Cute story.
Congratulations on your weight loss.

Lol

Welcome, Batman!

That's hilarious!

LOL! That really perked up my day. Kids do indeed say the funniest things.

The kid said it OK , it was the poster who heard it wrong .

That is so funny, Batman. Congrats on the weight loss!

And a great example of how our perception of ourselves influences what we "hear" and how we interpret things.
