I Can't Have the World Thinking I'm a Bad Mom!
Stat Boy has officially become a challenging teen. I cannot get him to wear a coat to save my life. It had to have been in the mid 30s Tuesday evening and I forced him to bring a coat with him in the car on the way to CCD. The entire drive he grumbled and complained about how he wasn't cold and how he couldn't bear wearing a coat. While I tried to tune out the rumblings from the backseat I began to consider how grown up he has become and how I might need to ease up a bit. I decided to give in and allowed him to leave the car without the coat. As he approached the entrance of the RE building Monsignor stopped him and had a brief exchange with him. I hoped it wasn't about the coat.
Upon picking up the children from CCD, I asked Stat Boy what Monsignor had spoken to him about.
My son laughed and said, "No coat tonight, huh?"
"Please tell me you told him I wanted you to wear a coat! He's going to think I'm a bad mother for not making you wear a coat!"
"Of course not."
Of course he didn't tell him. How could I expect him to do something so ridiculous as defend his slacker mother!

A friend and I are organizing an Immaculate Conception party on Dec 8th. Not sure how far Ft. Belvoir is for you, but it will be a Mass and potluck lunch thing with whatever Catholic homeschoolers we can drum up. If you are interested, email me.
If this is how he is going to rebel, let him go coatless! It could be much worse!!!
