Comments on: they need a little TLC http://fridayplaydate.com/they-need-a-little-tlc/ entirely true, but exaggerated for comic effect Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:17:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Susan http://fridayplaydate.com/they-need-a-little-tlc/#comment-1192 Susan Thu, 27 Oct 2005 20:17:00 +0000 http://fridayplaydate.com/they-need-a-little-tlc/#comment-1192 Funny you should mention color: Henry also believes in the one-color-covers-all rule. This morning he chose navy sweats and a navy t-shirt (not the same navy) and because I am INSANE, I said, nah, how about jeans instead.<br/><br/>And damn if he didn't say, 'But those are the same color!'<br/><br/>Why couldn't I get the slow kids?

And damn if he didn’t say, ‘But those are the same color!’

Why couldn’t I get the slow kids?

They decided, "Hey. If it matches to have a little of the same color, then a whole outfit of one color must be the matching-est outfit in the universe."<br/><br/>*sigh* Now I get to daily explain WHY burgandy and red-hot red don't REALLY go and that wearing lime-green and aqua together is just being mean to other people...

Amen.<br/><br/>And despite the fact that I let them choose their own clothes, they had no say in their Haloween costumes (because everything they picked was violent and not appropriate for, well, ANYONE). Henry is going to be Harry Potter and Charlie is going to be a leopard. Except when you ASK Charlie what he's going to be, he says, 'NOT a leopard. I'm going LIKE THIS,' which means, of course, in his sweats. With the hood of his sweatshirt pulled up, like Rocky.<br/><br/>I told him if he wants candy, he will be a leopard. End of discussion. Because I am mean like that. If the universe is at ALL just and fair, my children’s pants will continue to ride AT THEIR WAISTS. Amen.

Now, however, he doesn't want the choices because he has his own idea about what he's going to wear. We’ve been letting Tod-lar choose from a couple of different outfits for a while.
