Tonight after work I took my son shopping. We went looking for a duffel bag that he could use for track. We couldn't find one at Kohls, but we found other stuff. He ended up with three new pairs of jeans (size 16 - the largest size in the kid's section!), three pairs of shorts and a sweatshirt. Yesterday we bought him running shoes.
Silly me. I asked him if the shoes and the clothes could be called his birthday gift. "No," he said, shaking his head and looking at me as if I was a crazy person. "These things are necessities, not gifts."
Sigh.
