My boy A is truly hilarious - makes me laugh when I want to strangle him or someone else. Makes me laugh all the time. Just says randomly funny things, delivered dryly and quietly such that you might miss it if you're not paying attention.
So saturday I get him hyped up to go shopping for clothes - no wait, strike that. Hyped up to go BUYING. Because he hates to buy - just likes (occasionally) to shop. I told him we had 1 hour to get everything he needed for his 3 week vacation coming up. Pre-shopping he owned 3 pairs of shorts and maybe a few shirts that fit. Not enough for a cruise and a 2 week jaunt through Florida with his aunt. And we had to find some cheap stuff - not the $40 shorts he usually likes.
So we drop SH at soccer practice and fly up the road, me chatting all the way about buying and trying things on quickly (you'd think every event were a runway presentation the way he tries things on...).
1 hour later, we own 5 new pairs of shorts, 8 new t-shirts, 4 of which were $3 each from the 70% off rack at Pac Sun. I was complementing him on a job well done - much stress off the stress-crazed mother.
He says, in his calm teenager laid-back deep voice, "Yeah, That was a personal best."
