A big brouhaha in Stanislaus County as a pageant winner in Patterson is stripped of his crown. Heather Hudgens reports it all started with apricots and a finger foul-up.
It was another weekend of royalty in Patterson, and the parade queens were on their best behavior.
“I would never do it, it’s not queen worthy,” said one of the queens.
What she's talking about is what happened last month at the Apricot festival, when the newly-crowned Little Mr. Apricot, 4-year old Matthew Burgos, raised his middle finger to the crowd!
At Mil's Cafe, now all the talk is what happened next, when Matthew was unceremoniously relieved of his crown. The reason - the unfortunate flip of the finger.
Matthew's mom understands why the apricot board took Matthew's title, but wishes some townsfolk would just get over it.
“I think it is ridiculous, I mean he’s four years old,” she says...
...Matthew doesn't even know he's been stripped of the title. His mom and dad say he likely wouldn't understand, anyway.

LOL! Gotta like that kid.... The Apricot Board needs to be slapped, though.
The Apricot Board apparently isn't consuming enough of their own product.
Maybe they need to "sit" on the Prunes board instead!! ROTFLMAO...I mean the kid thinks he is #1 and they get upset with that? Gimmee a break!
Cute four year old.
I thought it was funny that one of the parade queens (much older than four) was shown to say that she would never do such a thing, it is not queen-worthy.
Yes, very cute kid!
Lil apricot is playing a X-Box. Maybe that's were he got it from! : )

I'll have to remember to google young Matthew in twenty years or so ...
I hope this doesn't sound too cruel. But that older queen could be a boy in a dress.
Where does a four-year-old learn such trashy behavior?
Who should teach a four-year-old that actions have consequences?
Distressing.
Maybe he did understand, didn't want a nancy-boy title like "Little Mr. Apricot," and found a way out.
i didnt know you had a four year old child you should have posted something about that on your about page :-)
Bump.
This is a story that was on tv all day as well. I think that the people in charge should just do what the boy unintentially told them. lol.
Bump.
