The High Maintenance Flower Boy
My niece, Rachel is getting married in two weeks and she is having 4 flower boys including Lovebug.
That means I have only 14 days to beg, plead, bribe Lovebug to cooperate. So far it’s not going well.
Today we went shopping for the outfit: Bone colored khakis, a white button down dress shirt, a brown leather belt and converse shoes - any color. Rachel said she would supply the tie.
As I laid the selection over my arm at babyGAP, Julian protested, “No, no Mama, this one” - pointing to a pink striped shirt. “And these jeans”, he instructed as he pulled them from their rack. “The shoes I have are better”, he informed me. I explained over and over that those choices were fantastic, but Rachel has chosen “this” particular outfit for the wedding.
“No, no…. Mama call Rachel please”. “Mama, call Rachel now, I want this shirt”….
Rachel’s choice….
