Overheard at school yesterday...
Sean, one of my 3rd grade boys, was getting ready to leave when he turns to his good friend, Nathan (a 2nd grader) and says:
Sean- Hey, Nathan, do you like the Sox?
Nathan- What kind of socks?
Sean- ...The WHITE Sox.
Nathan- Oh! Right...Yeah, I like them.
Sean-Then why aren't you wearing black?
Nathan- ...What?
Sean- You should be wearing black then.
Nathan-...Why?
Sean-(in a loud sports announcer voice) Because good guys wear black!!!
Nathan- (no response)
Sean-(in same announcer voice) Because good guys wear black!!!
Nathan-(long pause)........Oh.
Sean then looks at me to get some backup, or help, or something, so to diffuse the awkwardness, I say:
Hey, I'm wearing black. So I guess I'm a good guy, right?
Sean- (After a good laugh) It's good GUYS wear black, Katy...You're a girl!
Me- What, so good GIRLS can't wear black?
He doesn't respond- he just chuckles some more and shakes his head a little as if to say, Good one, katy! as he heads out the door.

I love sean. He really IS a good guy.
Totally. He wears his black Sox hat everyday. It's so cute.
You probably should have tackled him.
