Are you GI Joe?

[Cappy410]

So I had the cutest question asked this morning. As I pulled into a parking lot I noticed a little boy point at my Jeep to his mom. When I got out, the little boy asked "are you a GI Joe?" I replied, "why do you ask if I am a GI Joe? His answer was "because you drive an army truck loaded with gear" I then said "I love GI Joe, but I am an Overlander". The little boy gave me the most confused look. I then quickly responded with "An Overlander is a tactical division of GI Joe where we go ahead of the troops to explore remote locations to make sure Cobra hasn't occupied that area yet" He gave me a high five with a "that's awesome! That's what I want to do when I grow up, mom!"

I will remember this for a long time! Too cute!

Very cool! I'm surprised in this day, his mother let him talk to you that much. You really made his day!

It is crazy to me that kids even know what that is. Did they reboot the cartoons? (I have girls, 5 and 6... so I don't have any context).

Yes, they have it on Cartoon Retro and they did 2 new movies.

That is a good laugh, but also a very good answer. I love that one.
GI Joe isnt that popular over here. We do see those kind of cartoons, and I am a big fan of cartoons. But the kids in the street? Bah.
So, I think I will be flattered when a Kid says are you a GI Joe.

Thanks for sharing.
