Conversation with Tino before bed:
Tino: Mom, I am going to wear long pants to school tomorrow. (Long Pause . . . waiting for me to gasp since my kid knows that I know he NEVER wears long pants unless it is absolutely necessary. I make him wear long pants to church on Sundays and he wears them for no longer than 3 hours and 1 minute. Actually 3 hours 21 minutes to allow for travel time to/from church).
Mom: O.K. Sounds good to me.
Tino: Well, mom . . . I only have three choices for school tomorrow. (Long pause again. I fail to comment because I am so not in the mood to see where this conversation is going).
Mom: (Taking the bait . . . only to humor my son) And what are those choices?
Tino: A. Long pants B. Walk around in my underwear all day long at school or C. Wear my dirty shorts that I have already worn a couple days in a row.
Mom: Great. OR, you could go ahead and put away your PILES of folded CLEAN laundry that have been stacked neatly on the corner of your bed since Friday afternoon.

You should have said B.
Smart aleck Tino.
good idea to alert him to the clean clothes - that XY chromosome combination makes for color blindness as well as clean clothes neatly folded in their room blindness - occurs all the time in this male dominated household.
I can't believe he would decline wearing those dirty shorts. They must have had something on the bum, because otherwise dirty shorts are purty shorts.
I vote for the undies.
Good come back Mom! I vote fir undies too.
D was so much less fun, though.
