Tonight I Ripped The Legs off Cooper’s ONLY PAIR OF LONG PANTS THAT FIT HIM!!!

Oh, I am laughing so hard – I can hardly stop! It might be one of those YOU HAD TO BE THERE SITUATIONS – I am not sure! (Tell me if you think this is funny.)
I was babysitting tonight and after Cooper took his shower he decided that he would put on his clothes, and sleep in them tonight so that when he woke up in the morning he would be all ready to go to school……you don’t want to be late to school on your birthday when you have just turned 6. Now that sounded like a pretty cool idea to me – and the parents were gone – no adults in the house – so it was my choice – right? I actually thought it was kind of sweet and creative….and keep in mind that tomorrow IS HIS BIRTHDAY!
Cooper knew just the pair of pants that he wanted to wear for his birthday tomorrow – a long pair with a stripe up the side that had a zip-off bottom part on the legs so that when removed, they become shorts. HE SAID that his MOM SAID that WHEN HE WAS SIX we could rip the bottom part off. I said ARE YOU SURE? He said YES – SHE REALLY DID. We went through that same question and answer period a couple of times and he INSISTED THAT SHE SAID HE COULD WHEN HE WAS SIX. (I would have called her but she was at a swim team meeting – not a good time to call.)
But the zipper on the pants was broken so I literally had to RIP the zipper off the pants to get the bottom part off – but in the end they were no longer long pants – but cool short ones – and we were all happy campers.
UNTIL HIS MOM CAME HOME….it seems that she had said that WHEN HE WAS BIG and OUTGREW THE PANTS that he could take the bottom part off. And she also said that they were the ONLY LONG PANTS THAT HE HAD THAT FIT HIM…….oops
HAD is the key word in that sentence. TOO FUNNY. A classic case of miscommunication. She said WHEN YOU ARE BIG….He figured that BIG MEANT TURNING SIX! Well, the cows are out of the barn now – so we might as well laugh because I don’t have a CLUE HOW TO SEW A ZIPPER BACK ONTO A LITTLE NARROW LEG ON A PAIR OF PANTS!
🙂 Darling daughter isn’t laughing YET – but I think it is at least a little bit hilarious. I mean, really, isn’t it cute? Doesn’t he look happy?! LOL
Happy Cooper with his SHORT PANTS!
YEAH Cooper – you looooooooook soooooooooooooo coooooooool!!!!!!!!!
They aren’t long pants and they’re not short shorts, they’re JUST right!!!!!!!!
