Where's RJ?

This isn't a very long story, but it's cute and Thanksgiving-related.

RJ sneaking food under the table

This picture was taken on Thanksgiving one year. RJ must have been 2 years-old here. We were getting the table prepared and finishing up the food preparations. All of a sudden, someone asked, "Where's RJ?"

We called for him and there was no answer. We looked around to find him and didn't spot him right away. Where the heck was he?

Apparently, RJ couldn't wait to dig into the Thanksgiving feast, so he snuck into the dining room and fixed himself a plate to munch on. The best part was that he KNEW he wasn't supposed to eat before we formally sat down! Which is why he hid under the table to dine in secrecy.

I remember once we found him, we thought it was hilarious. He was so intent on eating that he didn't notice us looking at him under the table. Someone grabbed the camera and when they took the picture, they called out his name. He looked up, surprised that he was caught, but managed a smile when he saw there was a camera.

I feel like calling BS on this story cuz I have no recollection of it.

Could it be, I don't know, because you were only 2 years-old? Children start retaining memories once they begin to dream, so I'm going to guess that you were just a smidge too young at this point in time to remember.

This will probably be the first and only comment I've ever made about RJ's looks since I've known him:

Aww, RJ. You looked adorable as a child.
