This morning Dean picked out his own clothes; he picked a striped golf shirt and jeans. I thought he looked very handsome but his collar was up so I turned it down. He took offense and informed me that he wanted it up. I looked at him funny and asked him why. He told me he just wanted it that way. As odd as it seemed to me - no one I can think of other than Fonzie (and Dean doesn't know him) wears this collar up - I did not really think it was worth any further discussion.
So at lunch time he strolls into the kitchen and asks, "Mama, do I look like a vampire today?" Unsure what the best answer should be I cautiously responded, "Um, I don't really think so (then it hit me) but is that why your collar is up today because that does look a little on the vampire side." With a bright smile and twinkling eyes he said down to eat and said, "Yeah, that's why I am wearing it like this today."
It is hard to be a mom so on the rare occasions where I "nail it" with my children it sure feels good.
