The one we stopped in was pretty small and when we arrived we were the only people actually sitting down in the restaurant.  They appear to have a booming drive through business just not a whole lot of people sticking around.  Anyway, we were at the table when a fire Marshall came in to get lunch.  Alex was all excited about that but thought he was a police man.  Next came in a guy who was riding a motorcycle.  Right now Alex is really big on who wears a helmet and who doesn’t.  This guy was wearing a helmet.

By this point everyone is sitting down and we are the only three people in the restaurant.  We are almost done eating when Alex looks over at me and says.

“Dad, watch this.”

He gets up out of his chair, stands between the two tables and belts out at the top of his lungs, body actions included..

“Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes”
