Shin guards



Oh Hank, I always knew you were my son, for obvious reasons, but today proves that my actual DNA is in every cell of your body. Here is our conversation:

Me: Hank, we need to go to Target today to get you a new soccer ball and shin guards for your camp this week.

Hank: O.k., wait...what are shin guards again?

Me: They look like long socks but they protect your leg if someone kicks you.

Hank: Oh yeah right, I also need those shin guards for you teeth so if someone kicks my face my teeth don't fall out.

Me: Yes, shin guards for your teeth, I think they sell those at Target.

Just when I thought he couldn't make me a prouder mom, he requests a mouth guard. GENIUS!

The kid is serious about safety...obviously!
He also has a little brother who wants to be just like him. Well, at least he wants to dress like him. I'm not so sure about the safety thing.

Your boys are adorable!! I love that picture. I know a good dentist if he does get kicked in the mouth without a shin guard for his teeth. Such cute boys!!

It's official. I need to go back to my regular life and throw brick clip in the burb and drive it off a cliff!
How have I not seen this yet?
Please tell Hank that he can only sleep over this week if he wears his shin AND mouth guards.
Oh, and I may have LOL'd at Max.
So Max.

Love it! Tell Hank that Cy has a football helmet that he wears everyday like a baseball hat. I'm sure he could borrow it for soccer if he wants that little something extra for safety!
