the tag in front isn't pokey

School calendar:

Monday - Backwards Day (wear something backwards!)
Tuesday - Pajama Day
Wednesday - Twins Day (dress like your friends!)
Thursday - Red and White Day
Friday - Cool Shades and Crazy Hat Day (also Canada's Flag Day) (also s*k*a*t*i*n*g)

He's been looking forward to this for a few weeks now. Planning his outfits, talking about how he's looking forward to each and every day, how he can't wait for Valentines.

I was preparing for a major sulk when I went in his room this morning to tell him school had been canceled, (wheeee it's a dreaded snow day agaaaaaainnnnn) mentally thinking over what I had in the house for crafts and games and maybe cookies? but he trumped me again.

"Okay." He said, jumping out of bed to wiggle his tootsies in his rug. "Can I still (thill) wear my clothes the wrong way?"

Oh definitely. Whatever keeps your little gap-toothed grin a-going.
