A Boy In Trouble......
This child of mine has the best imagination and creative ability I have seen in quite some time. He definitely takes the cake! I am so mad at him for what he did today and yet, I can't really fault him given his reasons. Andrew wore a really cute red sweater to school today. It's one of my favorite of his shirts. After we were home for a little while, I saw him playing with his sleeve, so I asked him to show me what was wrong with it. It is torn from wrist to half way to elbow. I was so upset, probably more than I should have been. I made him take it off and asked him what happened to it. His very logical answer was "I didn't like this color red......so I cut it!" Hmmm........because cutting it made this color red look better?! I must just be getting older because children's reasoning is getting further and further from my grasp. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

I dont know if I would have been all that understanding if S had cut his sweater sleeve open, good for you. And because I am not that understanding my next shopping trip would have resulted in 5 red sweaters for the little man.
lol I like S's logic of 5 red sweaters!!! I get mad at my kids for dumb things, but for some reason I dont get upset when the ruin clothes...they're just clothes and they're going to outgrown them or wear them out in a couple months anyway. Good job choosing your battles!!!
