My Mother and I were at the mall forever tonight. While in Macy’s and Sears we were looking around for some warm sweatshirts for Ryan. Ryan is super skinny and bony so he gets cold easily. That’s why I like to dress him warmly for school. I noticed if he wears a regular sweatshirt he’ll keep it on. If it’s a zip up he takes it off. It’s wait too cold this time of year for that. Even in school.

Of course all we could find for sale was zip up sweatshirts. And a whole ton of really ugly sweaters. Parents these days dress their children so geeky. I can’t believe it when I go into school or bday parties. Last year I was at Ryan’s best friends bday party and I was in shock at the way some of those kids were dressed. there was actually a little boy– the chubbiest in the class. His Mother had him in a sideways striped RAINBOW sweater with cordoroys. The poor kid. Why would a Mother be that cruel?

At the time Ryan had really long hair. he said people made fun of it. All I could think was people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Most of those kids parents dress them like Leave It To Beaver.
