Clothes

Yesterday Josh came to breakfast wearing a green shirt and light blue 'soft' pants.  I told him they didn't match and after a long conversation about matching, mixed with whining from him, he finally went and changed his pants. He comes out wearing his green shirt still but has now changed his pants to a dark blue color. I once again tell him that it doesn't match and he goes into a long explanation that his pants are actually black and purple mixed together and so they just LOOK blue.  I finally make him go back and change once again.  This time, I tell myself, I will accept whatever he's wearing as long it's not some sort of blue.  A few minutes later he walks out in some maroon 'soft' pants and asks if it matches.  I tell him it works and that he can wear them.  He breaks into a big grin, laughs and then says "I tricked you mom.  These pants are blue on the inside!" They're a pair of reversible pants, which I knew, but since he wasn't wearing the blue side I didn't care.  Instead I just smiled and said "yep you did."  We both came away feeling like winners.
