Fit to be "Tied"

So yesterday Jerry asked to wear his checkered bow tie to school. I, of course, said uhh..no. He went on and on so I told him that if he still wanted to wear it he could wear it tomorrow (Tuesday). I was hoping he would get it out of his head and realize how ridiculous it was. Boy! Did that backfire. Not only did he remember the moment he sat down for breakfast, but continually reminded me of it through out the day until it was noon and time to go to school.

I reluctantly said fine Jerry wear the bow tie. So, he did! As I was clipping it on, I asked him what he thought his friends at school would say about this tie. He grinned at me and said, "They'll all laugh!" I said, ok, it's up to you. I told him I was going to take a picture and he said, "Good, so I can see what I look like." (FYI: we do have mirrors). So, I snapped the pic and he eagerly jumped up and down to see and said, "No, get my whole body, so I can see everything." So, I take the second picture. He looked at it very proudly and confidently proclaimed, "I don't look weird!" I told him he looked awesome and took him to school like that. He did look adorable, but I couldn't quit laughing as I dropped him off. I almost wrote a note to his teacher explaining that is wasn't my idea! :-)
