Camo, Cash, and Cookies
Published Date: April 5th, 2010Category: Holidays, Made Me Laugh, Parenting
It’s like the old Sesame Street song, “One of these things is not like the other.” Somehow Luke ended up decorating Easter cookies last week in his camouflage wife-beater while jamming to Johnny Cash. As he sang with a six-year-old twang, “I fell in to a burnin’ ring of fire” I handed him pink sprinkles and bunny cutouts. Not quite a vision fit for a Norman Rockwell painting but we go with the flow in our house so camo and cookies was the theme of the day.
A few hours later, he snuck into his rooming, hollering for us to stay out because he had a big surprise planned. He emerged in his “fancy suit” just in time for pizza night on the basement couch. Go figure. And, come on who doesn’t want to knock back a grape soda and slice of pie in a suit and snap-on tie?
From the suit to the camo tee and Johnny Cash tunes to almond flavored Easter cookies our house is eclectic. We don’t walk in a straight line every day.Of course none of these things go together. But, I wouldn’t want them to. And, maybe we’re just recreating a 2010 vision of the new Rockwell generation.
