The Boy got an offer to go the US to do keep his buddy company while they did some back to school clothes shopping. He wanted a few polo shirts so it was ok. After the $41 with The Girl, I spoke with the other mom and gave detailed instructions of what he was allowed to buy and how much he was allowed to spend.
We do a lot of international travel, so The Boy has his passport and I gave them a letter as well. No problem going in, but coming back into Canada they got stopped because The Boy is a US citizen. It was never an issue travelling with me, but the officer was convinced they were abducting him. He couldn’t wrap his closed mind around the fact that The Boy was born in the US to military parents who moved back to Canada. They were pulled out of line and questioned and eventually let through, but it was crap. The Boy was old enough to speak for himself and the asshole had all mine and his father’s numbers to call if he needed them.
He came back with 2 polo shirts – one of them was pink. PINK. Everything else in his wardrobe is black and has skulls on it. I just shook my head. It turns out both the boys bought the pink shirts, now they can’t decide who is going to wear it to school first.
We think that wearing it first would be best, because if you go second you would look like you were copying. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out.
