A few weeks ago one of his friends came over after school and I noticed that his pants looked good as new. When I asked he said that he didn't slide on the ground like the my child and some of the other kids.
I gave my son the lecture about taking care of his clothes. So I decided to patch his uniform pants. It seemed like an easier and inexpensive solution. I told my son and he didn't seem to mind.
On the way to school the other morning he noticed the patch, I hear "Mom, I thought you were going to put them on the inside of my pants." He was a little upset. So, I explained how they go on.
When we get to school, he refused to get out of the car. He literally sat in there for about five minutes until I had to fuss at him to get out or I would be late for work.
My husband told me that the week before he didn't want to get out of the car because of his new haircut.
Do they have to be so difficult? The only kids that teased him were his two friends who he had to show his pants to, so if you ask me, he asked for it.
Yes, I am a mean mom. I like to embarrass my children and teach them lessons.
He has since stopped sliding on his knees. Mission accomplished ;)
An adorable post; thanks for the smile for the day. I raised three boys and three girls and I remember day like this. In fact, I think I will post a really funny story about my son and his shoes.
