“Do you know your lines?”
“Yes.”
What do you have to wear?”
“Something dressy.”
“Here’s your black pants.”
“I’m not wearing that sweater.”
“Fine. Wear your white shirt.”
“The black pants don’t fit.”
“Shit.”
“The white shirt doesn’t fit.”
“Damn. Try these khakis.”
“Don’t fit.”
“GAH. Try on your dress shoes with black jeans.”
“Where are my dress shoes?”
“I have no idea.”
*hour-long search for shoes*
“What else fits me??”
“Nothing. I can’t find the shoes.”
As a result, my child wore black jeans, Chuck Taylors, and a polo shirt to his Christmas program, and was by far the most under-dressed child in the program.
GAH.
I felt like Mom of the Year, I can tell you that.
In other news, I still have not put the Christmas tree up.
Last year, the fucking legs broke off of the stand, causing the tree to fall over and crush half of my ornaments, so I’ve not been looking forward to this.
Christmas spirit? I have none. Seriously. I’m ready to puke every time I hear Christmas music and I’m doing all of my shopping on the internet.
Clearly I need to lighten up.
Happy Thursday.
What is this whole Christmas Program/Pagaent stuff? Or was it a band/choir concert. No school I ever went to did a Christmas Pagaent, or a Thanksgiving Play or anything like you see on TV.
I feel ripped off of my childhood, dammit.
By the way, black jeans and chucks are AWESOME.
I have to go with Meredith here… black jeans and chucks… you’re the COOL mom
I also dig the outfit, but since it’s Lutherens, I can see the underdressed thing. I remember when Rymer was four and in an Advent program, he insisted on wearing his kilt. No one could say much since the colors were right
Don’t worry about what he wore, at least you are a parent who sends him to a good school and actually shows up to his functions. There’s a good number of kids who don’t even have that.
I’m like that every Christmas! And yes, you are the cool mom. Mine was sent to the Lutheran school several holiday parties in jeans and a tshirt. Whoops.
PS. Christmas shopping on the internet RULES!
