(Mrs. Harris & Butterball)
It's not pretty.
When he walked in the door several friends ran up and asked where his crabs were (crabs, lobsters, they all look the same when you're 2). That's all it took. He stripped off his pants and started crying. I was almost home when I got the call to bring his gobbers!!! In my defense, he had worn them for 2 days straight and slept in them, so I decided they needed a good washing. Plus, it was 45 degrees!!! Lesson learned: if he is not wearing his gobbers, I will at least send them to school in his bag.
Thank you Mrs. Harris & Mrs. Jones for being so sweet to Butterball and for not calling us crazy (at least not to our faces).

Too funny! This will make a great story at his rehearsal dinner/wedding some day...at least that's what we tell ourselves over here whenever our three do something really quirky and over the top...which is just about daily! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I wish you guys were back in Charlotte- you all make me laugh so much!!! Poor little guy!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a funny story! And what an awesome picture to have.
ReplyDeleteThat kid is persistant. It will serve him well someday. How is the gobbers seaboot holding up?
ReplyDeleteI loved that his friends asked where his "crabs" were - about spit out my coffee. Hilarious, Sissy! And so typical, so I'm sure his teachers think nothing of it.
ReplyDeleteHave you read the book Owen? Perhaps you could cut out some lobsters and sew them onto his winter pants? Just a thought.
ReplyDeletehilarious.
ReplyDeleteSo, so funny!
ReplyDeleteThis cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteawwww, sooo great!
ReplyDeleteI just love that kid; Butterball stories are becoming famous North of 25A!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Colleen

ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical! i love this story. keep us updated! he is darling
ReplyDeleteButterball needs a pair of preppy cords with embroidered lobsters for winter!!!

ReplyDeletePerfect for Butterball!

ReplyDeleteNow you know-never come between a boy and his gobbers! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteAhahaha!!!
ReplyDeletei love the continuation of the gobbers. i'm invisioning him wearing thermols under them this winter. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat riot! Love it.
ReplyDeleteOmg! That picture is classic! Poor little guy.
ReplyDeletethis is just the cutest thing! I love it, thanks for sharing it with us
ReplyDeleteOMG! I am crying. SO cute and so funny! I love him! I have the opposite problem with my guys... My 3 year old is constantly changing his outfits and my 5 year old likes to alter his with sisscors at school. (you'd think by the third cut up shirt and lecture the teacher would have taken the damn things out of his supplies box.)
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm catching up on my blog reading from while I was in MIA land and am dying to find what you did with that funky chair you got last summer.
