Can't trust children

On Saturday this weekend I went to the mall with Ben and his friend Ameil, to help them buy clothes with my impeccable female taste.

Later, Ameil was getting his hair cut and Ben and I were waiting on the chairs in the lobby of the salon. A woman walked past us to pay up front for her haircut, and her daughter trails behind her.

I don't usually like kids, I'll admit, but when they're all of 2 years of age and haven't learned to have their own opinions yet they're SOOOOO CUTE.

Ben waves to the little girl and she stops, wide-eyed, and waves back to him.
Cue Larissa going "OHHHHH SO CUUUUTE."

The little girl walks up to her mother, who's about to leave, and Ben says to the little girl "Where are you going? Home?"

The little girl stares back at us again, and slowly raises her arm. I figure she's going to wave goodbye to us, but that's when she closes her fingers, one by one, until only her index is raised, and she points upwards towards the sky.

Ben and I go "OH SO CUTE" again, but really, I was thinking "SHE'S AN ALIEN!"
