Wednesday Words of Wisdom: Flexibility, one secret to success

on
"Flexibility is one secret to success."

Andre got our son ready for school today, like he does most days. Today, when the boy and I arrived at his school I noticed that his pants were extremely short. Like my uncle would say, it as if he were awaiting a flood. I exclaimed, "Look at how short your pants are!" I immediately regretted my comment. We were already late for school and I didn't want to high jack his day by making him self conscious.  Still, I didn't want him to look like a fashion victim all day.


So, I did the only thing that I thought I could do.  I converted the fashion faux pas into a fashion choice. I folded his pants up a bit to make the length look intentional. He was confused by my rolling his pants up and initially expressed it. However, then, he just rolled with an decided to enjoy his day.


I think he pulled it off. what do you think?!
