We’ve really been working on raising independent children.  Yesterday I took our 11 year old son to Men’s Warehouse to get fitted for a tux for my sister-in-law’s upcoming wedding.  He took his little tux, waited in line to get a fitting room and, when it was his turn, marched right in all without asking for any help from me. I was rather proud of myself and what a great job parenting I’ve been doing.  

About 10 minutes later I asked through the door how it was going.  He yelled back, “these assless chaps really are very airy!”  He gets that inappropriate wit from his mother.
