Scene: The fitting room at our local Target. Grant is trying on swim trunks. He found a pair he liked, but they didn’t fit.

Me: “Grant, these are too big for you. See? They don’t fit you in the waist. You need a smaller pair.”

Grant: “No, these fit. It’s OK.”

Me: “No, Honey, if you dive into the pool you might lose your shorts.”

Grant: “If I lose them, I will use my goggles and I will find them again.”

(This photo was from 2 years ago, but still works today…)

I will wait a few years to let him know that no shorts, plus cold pool water, can equal a perfect storm of embarrassment. Or so I’ve heard.

Wasn’t there a Seinfeld episode about this?

    Ah, Grant. How I’ve missed thee.
    The Grant stories are the best!

    Oh, I’ve missed you. And Grant!

    He is right you know. You are lucky he’s so nonchalant about the chance he’ll lose his suit. My boy ties his so tight he can barely breath–he’s so terrified of the possibilities. (He has started to relax about it though).

    Grant is adorable. I love his attitude.

    I think my favorite thing about that Seinfeld episode are Elaine’s lines.

    William is apparently the opposite. He’s worn a rash guard for the last two summers b/c he’s so fair; we were headed to the pool last week and he didn’t have any that were clean and dry. He started crying b/c he thought people would laugh at him for not wearing a shirt. Apparently he’s never noticed all the other boys/men not wearing shirts at the pool…(have I told you he lives in his own world?)
