Silly Skills

Last week, Dexter's school had different theme days. Tuesday was "school spirit" day when everyone wore their school t-shirts. Wednesday was "sport spirit" day when everyone wore their favorite sports t-shirt. Dex wore a Bears shirt (the only sports shirt he owns). When another mother asked him if football was his favorite sport, he answered, "no." She then said, "Oh, you must like baseball." Dex replied, "no." Finally, she asked what his favorite sport was and he said, "Bobsled." The look on this woman's face was priceless. Unfortunately, we did not have a bobsled t-shirt for him to wear.

Thursday was "dress silly" day. This was Dexter's forte. He started planning his silly outfit three days in advance.

The silly outfit consisted of two different shoes, pants on backwards, jammie shirt on backwards, tie, and jammie pants on head. By the time he got to school, he decided against the pants on his head.

When I asked what silly things other kids were wearing, Dex said, "Nothing! I couldn't even tell that they were silly! But Miss Jill and Miss Jenny dressed so silly!"
