OK - Christian has the least clothes of anybody in our home. He is also, believe it or not, one of the P I C K I E S T!!! This is what I hear when I buy him clothes without taking him with me...
"This tag is scratching me all the time." - So, I cut the tags off, but he finds something else wrong with the shirt.
"My pants are too tight." - They are not that tight, I can stick my finger between his belly and the waist band. My clothes are much tighter than that since gaining weight and being to0 cheap to buy new fat clothes.
"I hate the 'bumpies' in my socks." - His feet really smell now that he is starting to wear real shoes instead of flippies. So I buy new thin, low profile, ankle socks that are $3 a pair and he hates those too. Marlayna gained some new socks that day (and she loves them - go figure).
"I don't like jeans. They make lines on my belly." - Huh? All my clothes leave lines on my body. Why? Because I'm too fat! He is lucky he is not a girl or he would have the saggiest boobs in the world because I cannot imagine him managing to wear bras.
After listening to him complain about everything I buy him I decided he is going with me today to shop and this is what I hear...
"I hate shopping! Can't you just pick out the clothes for me?"
To which I reply, "You hate all the clothes I pick out for you."
"Nu-uh, I like everything you buy."
At this point I list off all the things I have given away, taken back, or is sitting in his drawer that he never wears.
(In a whining tone) "I don't want to go shopping! I'll wear whatever you buy. I promise."
*Sigh* "Nope! You are going with me and I don't want to hear anymore!"
Who thought boys where so difficult to shop with! He goes with me and it takes less than 30 minutes to pick out and try on 2 pairs of pants and 2 shirts. Miraculous! We bought clothes!

Yea! We're back up!
On Sunday morning my email account was hit by something and I couldn't access it. Then my blog disappeared completely to which I almost ...
I'm with you Christian, I hate shopping. I wish everyone could just wear jeans or sweats and t-shirts everyday, everywhere!!
ReplyDeleteOh biy I hope my boys won't be too picky :)
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! I can say that because I'm not his mom. I have a couple boys who LOVE and WANT to go clothes shopping, even when we aren't planning on it. The other two would rather I do it for them.
ReplyDeleteI have to report that Christian likes the clothes he picked out on Saturday. Now I just need to get them off his body to wash them sometime. ;-)
