LAX Security Gates, Delta Terminal. Jason forgets to take his laptop and his portable DVD out of his briefcase before sending it through the x-ray machine, and the security officers declare a "rerun" of his belongings. While waiting in his stocking feet for his electronic items to come back through the machine, Verne Troyer, the actor who plays Mini-me on Austin Powers, comes down the terminal in a battery operated chair. Diego, who still lacks much in social graces in spite of his debonair fathers, points and loudly proclaims, "Look at that little tiny man!"
Amelia and Giancarlo are mortified. They grab his arm faster than you can say "The Spy Who Shagged Me," and shush him with more shushing power than either of them have ever shushed before.
Mr. Troyer shoots them a sour glance and proceeds through the terminal. Of all the little people in the world, it was Mini-me that Jason's son insults.
Mr. Troyer, if you or yours happen to come across this post, please accept Jason's profound apologies.

Why would he be offended by what your son said. Vern Troyer is a tiny man. Diego didn't say anything that wasn't true.
Kids just speak truth. We could learn from them, huh. Diego is so darn cute, how could anyone be annoyed with him????
Ah, ah, way to go, Diego, I heard mini me is an a$$.
Well, he IS a "little tiny man". What do you expect Diego to say? ha ha ha... love it when OTHER kids embarrass their parents. Not so much when it's my kid embarrassing me!
Well, he didn't use the midget word that we are supposed to weed out of our vocabulary.
You just live the most exciting life!
OH no!
Are we heading someplace fun?
ROFLMAO! Ah, kids!
Funny though, because Mini Me is kind of mentioned in my latest post.
Justine :o )
HAHAHAHA!
There's a little person who works at the Whole Foods near us. Gremlin was positively delighted! She's so little! Like me!
Gah! At least Vern's got the money for the chair. This girl's just schlepping organic tomatoes around a grocery store.
Little boys do not whisper and can not be shushed.
Hahahahahahaha!
I AM a tiny little man.
That's what you call a teachable moment. And an embarrassing one.
:) That reminds me of when my daughter saw Taye Diggs on TV and said, "Look Mama, Barack Obama!" At least it wasn't the *real* Taye Diggs. Or Barack Obama. But, really, it was kind of a compliment either way you look at it.
Isn't parenting fun?
Awesome. I would take Diego anywhere. Once? When Laura was about Diego's age she asked a woman in a wheelchair if she could have a ride. The woman in the wheelchair was gracious and sweet to her because small child.
Also? I just read the "Verne Troyer" comment and I smell a katydidnotrat and I love katydidnotrats.
Lacking in social Graces???? What little boy isn't???
teachable moment my ass.
priceless moment more like.
(i am not verne.)
(but he does make his living playing mini me, how offended could he be?
I love Diego already. :)
That's the kind of honesty that the Art Linkletter/Bill Cosby show thrived upon! I'm sorry, I know it's not PC, but you cannot deny that he was just observing what was in front of him. The social graces/filter comes with maturity & education. Mr. Troyer is an adult, so I hope he can understand, and hope that he loves kids!
Another good one from Diego!!
hahaha !OMG that is funny!!! However, he IS a little man. He's got freaky small hands too!
Little people kinda freak me out and I am not sure why. Not as bad as clowns, mind you - but still...they make me nervous. Might be because I'm a freakish giant.
Unfortunate celebrity run-ins can happen anywhere. We were in a long line at Lagoon in Farmington Utah, when this pack of squealing boys got on my wife's nerves. "OMG those little $hits are loud!" said she just loud enough so they could hear I looked back to find little carbon copies of someone I'd grown up with jumping up and down like pop corn right behind us. The father glared at me, but the blond hottie mommy told the boys to cool it. My wife never new she called little Bobby Brady's kid's, er, that money word.
LOL! Kids just say what they're thinking.
One day we pulled into the grocery store parking lot and in the truck in the next spot was a very obese African American man.
My then 5 year old shouted out "HEY HEY HEY!" absolutely JUST like the Fat Albert intro.
I was horrified.
Mini Me heard the young lad. He is plotting his revenge.
At least it wasn't chuck norris!!
Can I borrow Diego? Just for a day. Please?
Too funny : ).
He is a tiny little man. Diego just calls 'em like he sees 'em. No harm done.
At least he didn't say, "No, no. We mustn't bite the kitty." Or some such thing like that.
Hey, go big or go home, right, Diego?
Kids say what they see. And while you desperately hope they don't say anything too horrible, sometimes they say just enough to make a point. Be glad the dear child didn't watch Surreal Life and see Troyer peeing in the closet.
i love and hate that stuff, it's funny afterward but awkward during. two guys were unloading exercise equipment for my neighbors and assembling it on the sidewalk and sofia got her little chair and sat 6 feet away to watch them. when i went and stood next to her she said "that man has a really really big belly", what can you say? he did and who better to work for an exercise equipment company
Makes me wish I lived in LA, or at least had plans to visit some time soon.
Ehhh.... after seeing a very drunk Verne Troyer peeing somewhere other than a toilet on "The Surreal Life," I'd say Verne is much more lacking in social graces than Diego, and he is an adult. I wouldn't sweat it.
When my kids say something like that, I try to say nonchalantly, "Yup, people come in all sizes" but I sure can feel my face turning red.
