DAILY SNACK
Multi-coloured horizontal stripes,
And vertical ones too.
In blue.
Athletic gear meets cable knits.
Red and orange and green and yellow.
White socks and black shoes.
And ONLY T-SHIRTS because,
“I like cold!”
I wasn’t prepared for getting dressed by himself to also mean choosing his own clothes.
So don’t judge another mother in the first place.
But really don’t judge her for what her child is wearing.
Please.

I hate to have to tell you this, but it doesn’t ever seem to end. My oldest son is 12 and routinely tries to leave the house wearing athletic pants with a much too dressy top, mis-matching socks and un-brushed hair. Usually I catch him in time, but as he’s 12, I’ve been trying to give him more space to figure this ‘appropriate dress’ thing out on his own. What do you do with a kid who just doesn’t care, though? I guess if he doesn’t, I shouldn’t either. But I do admit that I occasionally wonder what his teachers must think of me…
Oh dear, still at 12? Well, I have an 18-year-old brother who can use some guidance, too, so I shouldn’t be surprised. I have high hopes for my daughter, though.
