Selfish Me

Today Jack announced that he needed new pants, so I took him to Sears to get him 2 pairs of Levi's 29x30. He protested that they would be too long to which I let him know that he will not get any bigger around only taller, so if they drag for a bit....live with it.

We walked out of there with our 2 pairs of jeans for a whooping 80 something bucks. It didn't hit me how much money that was on pants that he will eventually grow out of until just a bit ago. My only consolation was that Levi's 29x31 is the size I wear, so I took the pants back to my room and modeled them for my dear 14 year old son. They fit! A bit short.... Is that mean? Yup.

So, he can keep both pairs and grow out of them. They should be nice and worn in by then. I actually would prefer 29x31. Maybe I will sneak one pair back when he isn't looking and get that size. Selfish I am and selfish I will be. :) Again I ask..... Is that mean or just planning ahead? Hmmm... back to Sears I go tomorrow. I am selfish. Yup.

Just to add a little note.... On the way home from Sears Jack said one of my Jana words. That poor boy is more like me than anyone should have to be. His only consolation is that he did get his dad's brains. I am sorry, Jack. It isn't easy being us even if you are smarter than me. Some day my personality will haunt you like my mom haunts me. (In a good way, of course.)

Maybe Abbey could wear his old jeans.... Hmmmmm.... Now that would be REALLY mean. I won't go there.
