I am Hagrid

[mik3cap]

Drak beat me to it... but to reiterate, the 2nd annual gweep invasion picnic at Benj and Jess's was freaking awesome. I got some "new" folks to come along this year, and everybody had a really great time. Some people didn't make it, and that was kind of sad... but what can you do?

Highlight of the day - I got the attention of the cutest single girl at the picnic! Her name was Maya, and she was totally adorable. Oh, and she was also the five year old daughter of one of Ryry's old friends. :)

So I'm standing there talking with somebody, and I feel this tug on the back of my shirt. I turn around, and this little girl looks up at me (all 30 some odd inches of her) and says:

"You look just like Hagrid from Harry Potter!!"
(*stunned moment, recovering quickly*)
"You're right, I do! What's your name?"
"Maya..."
"Hi Maya, my name's Mike, it's nice to meet you!"

Dawn later tells me that Maya had come up to her and said:

"That boy looks just like Hagrid!"
"Well why don't you go talk to him?"
"I can't, I'm too scared..."
"I'll come with you and we can talk to him together!"

The rest of the night, Maya ended up hanging around me and hugging me and stuff. Total cutie. (I always end up being a kid magnet for some reason)

So yeah, I figure maybe if I end up out of work I can always rent myself out to kid's parties as a Hagrid impersonator... :)
