what not to wear

It was an awesome Halloween. The weather was perfect, Halloween was on a Friday night and I was getting caught up in the excitement and anticipation of the evening (free chocolate). I decided that evening (in my timely fashion, of course) that I must wear a costume, unfortunately my costume assortment-on-hand was pretty sparse, there were prom/bridesmaid dresses and a cheerleading uniform. I decided on the cheerleading uniform.

I came out of the guest room closet proudly displaying my 'costume' to Henry to ooo-and-ahh over. He looks at me and says, "you are not wearing that". I attempt to persuade him by asking "won't it be cool to have a mommy wearing a costume?". He answers "you should not wear that".

Since when does a four-year-old get embarrassed of his mother?

I turned to him and said "Well, now I have to wear it".


Apparently, he's not aware that he has at least sixteen more years of embarrassment ahead of him.

(nevermind the Sarah Palin up-do, that was my fallback costume~)

    Look at you - hot mama! I think it's cute that he said that. That boy is so much older than he really is.

    Oh you look great.

    It is your job to embarrass him anyway so just don't worry about it.

    Just read the shoe laces post (awesome... I *will* be plopping Mad in front of your blog when summer's over and sandals won't do). This post came up in the widget... You have to admit this is better than the costume your husband got for you (must have been the following Halloween... jeez, how long have we been hanging out?!?)!
