My Sisters and Cousin Jenny Will Appreciate This...

Today Braxton and I went to see Star Wars Clone Wars. After the movie, we headed to the mall to buy some clothes for school. I don't mind shopping, but shopping for school clothes always gives me flash backs of when I would go school clothes shopping with my mom. A conversation I heard today between a mother and her daughter almost made me hide in the corner of the store in the fetal position.

Mom: "Look at this shirt, it's cute."

Daughter: (looking disgusted) "Um, I don't know....."

Mom: "But it's on sale."

Daughter: "Mom, it's not really my style."

Mom: "You are so picky when it comes to your clothes, who are you trying to impress anyway?"

Daughter rolling her eyes

At this point I decided to leave that part of the store to get away from the same conversation that I had with my mom many times before at the Mayflower Mall or Zellers. It's nice to have a 7 year old boy. I held up two pairs of pants in his size and asked him which one he liked, he pointed and that's what I bought. I am sure that the time will come that he will he horrified that I shop at thrift stores and that I don't buy him name brand clothes from stores that I have never set foot in, but for now I am happy with my low maintenance boy.

PS: I bought some Christmas presents too, it's never too early for that.
