Why is it that the child of two very casual parents wants to wear a tie to school on Picture Day? Usually, we're lucky to get Colter into a clean T-shirt and shorts before he leaves the house, but yesterday, he was looking for a button-down shirt and nice pants. Naturally, he didn't find any. We compromised on a red Hawaiian shirt and beige shorts instead, to go with the blue background that would appear behind him in the pictures. And they say women are vain.
