My mom, bless her soul, was always doing things like that. After starting high school at St.Patrick's in Chicago, I asked for a school jacket - green with pale yellow leather sleeves, and the St Pat's logo. Instead of buying one off the rack, mom had one made - with superior leather and cloth, and a hand embroidered logo that looked nothing like the original. I was embarrassed to wear it.
Rodger - LOL - then your Mom did her job. You know, the only real pleasure a Mother gets is by embarrassing her off-spring. I still enjoy doing that and mine are grown.
St. Pats??? I went to De Paul. Won the city championship and then the school closed and I transferred to Lane Tech. Surprisingly, the students were better behaved there!
My family move to Maryland the second half of my freshman year, so I wound up in public school. Worse thing that ever happened to me. I needed that Christian Brother discipline.
Should've asked for the Sony and would've ended up with the Wii.

But just think how much you can have now buying your own toys- and if they make *your* kids jealous - so much the better!
ReplyDeleteWell maybe only a mom would understand that logic.
