Why We Are Awesome Parents, Reason #453

Our son's school has been having Spirit Days.

You pay $1 and get to dress up.  The money goes to charity, you have fun.  Win/win.

Last week our son told us it was "Dress up like a famous person" Day.

*Mom vaguely remembers seeing a paper come home with dates on it.*

We dress our son up like Davy Crockett.  Special fringed pants, a leathery fringed vest/shirt, and big coonskin cap.

Guess what.

IT WAS NOT DRESS UP DAY.

Let me repeat that so it sinks in.

Not. Dress up. Day.

So there was our child, in full Crockett regalia, sitting in a classroom all day long with normally dressed children.  This was part of the conversation on my facebook wall:

Lessons from the facebook interactions:

1. Red Friend offers to help write tell-all book.  Red Friend gets NO CHRISTMAS CARD this year!

2. Purple Friend made similar "oopsy" and turned out okay so there is still hope. 

P.S. 

I spent a good half an hour using Microsoft Paint to add the colors to the facebook picture.  Clearly time-management is a strong suit of mine.
