Many moms choose to argue with their kids when deciding what the child will wear to school, church or a family photo. I've been known to go a round or two with B if he's made a particularly poor clothing choice. However, I know that if he goes out in clashing duds, MOST people will realize that I had nothing to do with the situation. I have actually been know to encourage some creativity when it comes to getting dressed so that when I have to pull the "you are not going out in that outfit" card, it carries some weight. This particular combo just screamed "photograph me" so that I can torture him later in life (think Prom night). He was very proud of each element - frogs on the (too small) hat & shorts, zebra on the shirt, Thomas snow boots (great on a warm, sunny day). So, for those of you readers who don't have a small child in the house, please know that if you come across a little person trying to express their inner "Project Runway" designer, Mama may not have prevented the combo, but she didn't necessarily endorse it.
