Husband Clothes?
It’s fascinating to hear how my boys (4yrs & 7yrs) talk to each other and how they think and put things together sometimes. It’s hilarious their perception on life and what’s happening around them all the time.
The other morning I was getting dressed to attend a funeral with my wife. I threw on some dress clothes, pull over vest sweater, all of which I don’t normally wear. I’m a jeans / shorts guy. I never dress up unless it’s a necessity or requirement. So, when I do dress up I guess it’s kind of noticeable and those that know me make a big deal BUT I didn’t realize how rare it was for me to get dressed up until my boys put in their two cents..
As i’m combing my hair I feel like I’m being watched so I turn and realize my youngest (4yrs) Tyler is standing in the doorway staring at me. I turn and ask him what was wrong and he smiles and runs off. I didn’t think anything of it. As he is running away he yells..
KYLE!! COME LOOK AT DAD! COME ON, COME LOOK AT HIM!
Next thing I know both of my boys are standing in the door to the bathroom staring at me. Both have huge smiles on their face. I again ask them…
What’s up guys? What’s wrong?
Again, they smile, laugh and run off.
Curious, I follow them to their bedroom and about the time I get to their door I hear Kyle say…
Tyler, dad’s not wearing husband clothes, dad was a husband since you were born! He’s been a husband that long…
Tyler says..
NO! Dad is wearing husband clothes Kyle! He looks like a husband…
Kyle again says..
NO! TYLER, dad isn’t now a husband, he’s been a husband since you were born!
Before the conversation went any further I decided to walk in and join the conversation..
Boys, I’ve been a husband long before Kyle was even born.
As I’m walking out I hear Tyler yell at Kyle..
I TOLD YOU KYLE, he’s wearing husband clothes!
What’s funny is that Kyle said that I became a husband when Tyler was born. So then what was I when Kyle was born? I guess maybe I need to wear husband clothes more often but again, what does that make me when I’m not wearing husband clothes?
Sometimes I wish I could see life through a 7 year olds eyes again.
Hillarious!
Then again, if you were only 7, we couldn’t enjoy these blogs from you. You are going to collect these and put them in a book aren’t you?
This is way too funny. Who needs TV? You’ve got all the entertainment you want with your kids.
Through the mouths and eyes of babes is one of the most fun way to look at life. I bet you are scratching your head trying to figure out where along the way they picked up the stereotype that husbands are supposed to look a certain way….and how is it that a husband look is different from a dad look?
Blessings to you and your family.
