My son seems to think he has inherited the wealth of his namesake, King Solomon. For our last outing in Nassau we ventured over to Paradise Island and had dinner at a nice restaurant near the Atlantis (casual – great food – service was so bad they comped our entire bill). After dinner and winning $20 bet placed on the Astros in the Atlantis Casino, Solomon drew a large crowd in the boat docks with his oratory skills. We walked around to see some of the most magnificent yachts in the Caribbean. Since we came to the island Solomon’s obsession with trains instantly switched over to an obsession with boats (he is constantly talking about boats in his sleep). In his excitement seeing these magnificent vessels docked in front of us he began to scream repeatedly “I’m gonna buy dat boat!”. As people began to surround us in total amusement that a two year old planned to buy most of the 60 plus foot yachts in the harbor, I explained “you don’t have enough money for that boat”. To which he replied “ It’s in my pocket”. At this point he had everybody laughing and we started to roll with it. “Solomon” I said, there’s not enough money in your pocket. “Go get mama’s money!” he said. I love this kid!
