Dress Code

Fortunately, Christopher dresses well. He wants to look nice each day at school. He likes to wear collared, polo style shirts with his neatly pressed shorts. He always wears an undershirt.

Yesterday, he told me "Everyone wears skinny jeans." What does he know about skinny jeans? I replied with "The girls?" No, he meant the boys. And, they aren't skinny like the fashion magazines show skinny -- they just aren't baggy. Baggy is what he's always worn.

I'm predicting we'll be buying a new style of blue jeans come cooler weather.

Today, we saw a goth-dressed kid walking to school. He had long stringy hair flipped to the side. Christopher said, "That doesn't look good."

I agreed and quickly said thanks that my son puts forth a good impression because he cares about how he is perceived -- oh, and how he looks!
