Last night the kids were coloring before getting ready for bed and Payden looks up at me and Jer and starts in
P:Mom, you know Lincoln's new friend who sits at his table?
Me:Yep
P:(with growing intensity) Well she told me that Justin Beaver used to live with her and now he moved out, and he gave her a shirt that has his face on it when he left, and I believe her I really do. (she added in that last part because my face showed clearly I was doubtful)
Me: Who lived with her? (fully knowing who she meant)
P: Justin Beaver (with authority)
Me: Who's Justin Beaver?
P: (look of exasperation) Everybody knows who that is mom
Me: (trying to contain my laughter threatening to burst out of my belly) Oh yeah, well who is he?
P: (stares at me for a bit) well, I don't actually know but everybody talks about him all the time.
Me: Yeah, it's funny how that happens huh?
P: Well my friend said she's in love with him, and a bunch of my friends have those shirts with his face on them.And I don't even know why!
Me: Yep that sounds about right, and I'm okay with that!
So it begins...

You did a great job of not making her feel dumb and process wearing a boy's face on your shirt. You are a great mom.
