Rockstar: (after looking up the number for room service) Hello, may I order room service please?
<pause> I’d like an orange juice and (reading) a “Tropical Fruits Platter”. Please.
Me: How long will they take?
Rockstar: (shrugs) 3 minutes.
10 minutes pass…
Me: I better check what happened to your order, it’s almost bedtime.
(Picking up phone)
Me:?? There’s no tone, how did you order?
Rockstar: Oh. I thought they were just not saying anything while I talked.
Me: ?! Then where did the “3 minutes” come from??
Rockstar: I thought they would take 3 minutes to get here.
Rockstar: (After dialing) Hi, may I have a mango juice…. And…. a coffee latte with skim milk?
<pause>
Rockstar: (to me) ?? They’re asking how old I am.
Me: (calling over to the phone) His parents are here, we’re just letting him order for us.
Both Kings and I can hear the laughter before Rockstar politely (and gravely) finishes the call and hangs up, before turning to us.
Rockstar: <mildly annoyed> WHY are they laughing?
Kings: You’re probably not old enough to be ordering a skim milk coffee for yourself.
Rockstar: Oh. Huh….
ps: Proud Kings actually put a(n incomplete) Youtube of Rockstar doing that on his Facebook; feel quite sayang I didn’t record the whole thing (but they really did ask him how old he was, which stumped him cos he couldn’t figure why the Room Service People wanted to know…
I’ve watched the video. Rockstar stated his order over the phone so clearly. I guess they could identity that it is a child’s voice so asked him how old he was.
Sleeping in a sleeping bag in bed? That’s a new one. Is that Miss Rockstar sleeping in the far side of the bed in the photo?
Yes that’s Her Highness herself! They have to be separated so as not to kick each other haha
Thanks for the compliment re Rockstar’s speaking, in the past as a toddler i don’t think he was very articulate and sometimes I wonder idly if he’s caught up (tho certainly biased that we are, we are pretty satisfied with his progress 🙂
