But He Didn’t Say I Couldn’t Tell You
Boy Wonder: “You cannot sell this.”
Me: “Why not?”
Boy Wonder: “Because I LOVE it!”
Me: “Yeah, but would you really use it? I mean, you’d carry that onto a plane?”
Boy Wonder: “Sure! It makes me laugh, Mom.”
Me: “Yeah, but I didn’t exactly make those for 11 year olds; frankly, I didn’t think it would appeal to your age group.”
Boy Wonder: “Yeah, I know. It’s for little kids and adults who don’t care what people think. . . So don’t tell my friends, m’kay?”
Me: “Nope, I won’t tell your friends.”

Hello ~ Welcome to Evidently
Patron Saint
He is great
He gives me hope that “adults who don’t care what people think” might one day lead the world… I’d be down for a world run by BW

Well, he’d be down with taking up that challenge. Funny story: when he was little, he used to tell people he wanted to be the “Emperor of the world.” Not president, mind you, EMPEROR. heh. ~W
That’s sweet. We never really grow up do we?

Not so much, eh?
That’s wonderful! I hope my boys are still able to appreciate the fun in things that others declare “uncool” when they are BW’s age, too.
The pillow is great, btw, and I would totally arm wrestle Boy Wonder for it.

He struggles… as much as he embraces his individuality, he’s like most kids–wants to fit in at least with his friends. As for the pillow, I actually listed it. He decided he wanted something in “Black” Heh.
That pillow is adorable!!!!!!!!
And BW is kinda cute, too

Awww…he’s totally right, it’s just wonderful. I love that he could tell you he loves it and in the same breath swear you to secrecy…
