School Picture Day

I’m told that that at least one child at Jackson’s school woke up on picture day and said to his mother, “I wonder what Jackson’s going to wear today!” So it’s a good thing Jack had taken him to Nordstrom the day before to get him a jacket that actually came down to his wrists. His teacher’d warned him that if he didn’t stop playing with his hair she’d put a bobby pin in it, and when she did, well, he wasn’t too pleased with the teasing he got from his classmates. Hence the Pat Riley look.

  1. Did the teacher take away his shoelaces too?

    :)

    He looks like a yachter. (Is that a word?)

  3. OMG. In twenty years of mothering I never got a kid to look that good for picture day.

    My 8 year old goes in a t shirt and jeans. I love the sneakers!

  5. You should hire him out as a personal shopper/stylist. The kid knows how to dress!

    As I’ve said before, you’ve got a future star (rock, movie, whatever) on your hands. Sharp kid.

    Oh My God…I love Jackson.

    I think Luna needs to marry him in, say 20 years? She can be his cougar.

    If you believe in arranged marriages I have a young daughter who wears a stethoscope every day, occasionally a tutu, often wears stripes and polka dots (yes, sometimes together) and really loves her rain boots! Perhaps she can learn a thing or two from your ‘lil hipster. Although frankly, I like her style (or lack thereof).

    Pat Riley – you killed me with that one.

    In Pat Riley’s dreams!

    Snazzy, but it seems like overdressing for a head shot. Plus, I’m not a fan of the Pat Riley look, unless it’s maybe (only maybe though) on someone like Antonio Banderas. I like Jackson’s natural locks. But, I suppose that I, a 44 year lesbian stranger, don’t get a vote, huh? Yeah, I thought so.

    The bobby pin was mean. The teacher should have to wear her hair slicked back on picture day.

    You child is cooler than me. By quite a bit.

  12. Parker says:

    Nordstroms?! That lucky little looker. I still shop at The Gap..Banana Republic if I’m feelin’ ritzy.

  13. Xibee says:

    Boo to teachers who make personal edits on children. BOOOO. Prefer his fluffy look.

  14. jcdoe says:

    that teacher should be fired. or shouldn’t be a techer.

  15. Oh good lord, relax. He spent more time flipping his hair out of his face than paying attention to what she was saying, and she gave him fair warning. So now he washes his hair and gels it to keep it back. He triumphed over the teasing! It was a learning experience.

    ‘ i wonder what Jackson is going to wear today? ‘
