Occasionally
I realize that Halen has been wearing the same outfit for days. I was
commenting on exactly that this evening when I realized that he was also
wearing pajamas beneath his shorts. So after the oft-heard question “Didn’t you
wear that yesterday?” I followed up (in rapid-fire succession, because that’s
just the kind of mom I am) with another question: “Have you been wearing your
pajamas all day?”
“In
the first place, they’re not pajamas,” he explained. “They’re exercising
underwear.”
“Really?
And all this time, (including when I bought them for you), I thought they were
pajamas!”
“Nope.
I can wear them under my soccer clothes all day long. And then, when it’s time
for bed, I just take off my shorts, and boom, I’m in my pajamas!”
“Huh.
Brilliant. But don’t ever do that again.”
