We are dealing with how to be cool at school this year with Donnovan. When we went clothes shopping it took twice as long as it normally has since he had to inspect everything and match everything. A few weeks ago I was helping Donnovan organize his binder and came across a note, I asked him what it was and he said I could read it. A big moment for a mom in my opinion, reading a note that wasn't for "my eyes only" Anyhow there was a list of things written down by a girl no less. She was giving Donnovan tips on how to be cool, such as: get your teeth whitened (I told him to brush everyday) dye his eye brows (he has the light light eye brows like me)skinny jeans ( I told him no way, I thought those looked stupid and he agreed) baggy skater shirts, VANS (mind you he keeps bugging me about these) talk like a skater, get contacts, dye his hair blond with red highlights (he really liked this idea) get awesome belts, listen to music that I have never heard of, and she went as far to tell him that he needs to have a favorite color of black or green and my all time favorite she told him to get a spray tan (what do people have against being white?) So now he is on a mission to get contacts and other things on this list, when did becoming cool become so hard?
