Camouflage...
Now that we have Leo mostly moved into his new bedroom, it's time for Owen to make the move into Leo's old room. I asked him if he wanted to paint his new room and he eagerly agreed. I asked him what color.....and it turns out he wants to paint it like camouflage and then paint a gun on the wall.
I. KID. YOU. NOT.
Remember how I decided not to get over the top about him playing with guns....blah, blah, blah? Thinking that if I said he couldn't it would just make them more desirable? Sigh. It's that damn Indiana Jones that broke through our ranks with his gun....
When we were traveling a couple of weekends ago we stopped at a gas station for a fill up and snacks and Owen begged and begged me to buy him the baseball cap that was camouflage patterned WITH A DEER EMBROIDERED ON IT. Now I don't oppose hunting when people eat what they kill---hell, I eat meat so I can't very well----but that doesn't mean I want Owen parading around in camouflage with a deer on his hat. geesh.....
oh, and when I was taking pictures of old signs on our Route 66 weekend? He asked me if I could take a picture of this one:
