The Boy left for school this morning, excited to be going. Only he wouldn't be at school for long. Today was the 9th graders' day at Lagoon, the local amusement park only slightly better, a bit cleaner, and less white trash than a county fair (from where I grew up). Disneyland, this is not.
It is supposed to be about 80degrees today...a perfect forecast for a day of fun away from school, hanging out with friends, playing on rides all day. Except that I insisted he let me spray him with sunscreen--along the backs of his knees and neck. I tried for the rest of him, but he was put out, that I would even insist. It got so irritating that I told him if he didn't let me spray him, he wasn't going. That finally made him give in.
Good crud! You would have thought I was asking him to let me pin a note on his shirt, like they do with kindergarteners, that held his contact information.
I hope he comes home in a better mood. And I hope he isn't sun burned. But I did my best to avoid that. It is up to him now.
