I Met "Sanjaya" At The Grocery Store

Alexis and I absolutely love American Idol. We are totally hooked and addicted. It controls our lives five months out of the year. It's comparable to a Good 'Ole game of college football against, let's say, Texas and the Oklahoma Sooners. (He he he) Each Tuesday & Wednesday evening we find ourselves glued to the best seats a stadium living room has to offer; a gliding nursery recliner (mine), the matching ottoman (Alexis's) and our 42" Plasma TV 27" Toshiba TV as we settle in to watch American Idol. The ottoman is appropriately sized for little children and comes customized with the added benefit of rocking back-n-forth (perfect for keeping kids entertained). Of course, my daughters face is two inches away from the television screen the entire time we are watching except when it's halftime the commercials come on. Now, during a commercial, most people would find themselves making a trip to the fridge to get another cold beer refreshing bottle of water and another bag of chips. But not our family......it was during a commercial that we MET Sanjaya at the grocery store. Alexis loves to play grocery store with her "Wal-Mart" branded shopping cart (even though we are shopping at HEB) So, immediately after Sanjaya sang the worst chareokee ever his rendition of "Let's Give Them Something to Talk About" (followed by a commercial).....she decided to go to the store. Alexis began shopping around the store living room for some much needed items. As she made her way down the isle past the coffee table she stopped to talk to an employee the "worker guy". She said, "Hi, what's your name?" I replied, "my name is Amber, what's yours?" She then proceeded to say in a very serious manner, "Hi, my name is Sanjaya, nice to meet ya." (not the usual Jerry, Lee, David or John) I bursted out laughing hysterically and could not contain myself. Alexis proceeded to look very intently at me with her beady brown eyes wondering.......WHAT was so funny!!!!
