pumpkin boy

i was at my sister's house yesterday and she gave me a bunch of clothes for van that luke had outgrown. i knew van would be diggin' on this pumpkin shirt because he loves halloween. sure enough when i showed it to him, he was so excited and couldn't wait to wear it to school. so i pick him up from school today and ask him how his day was. he said it wasn't good because people were calling him "pumpkin boy". i was trying so hard not to laugh as i attempted to convince him that they just thought it was cool. he wasn't buying it.
those little punks. he's already self-conscience enough as it is. still, i couldn't help but laugh.

haha, that cracks me up (besides wanting to beat up the kids who hurt his feelings).

Will he wear it again?

no. in fact those were the first words out of his mouth after he told me what the kids were saying. "mom, i'm NEVER wearing this shirt again!"
