I (heart) pink.

Thought you might enjoyed a conversation between my son and I the other day.

Son:  Mom, I want to buy a wristband that says "I (heart) Boobies".
Me:   What?  No. 
Son:  But Mo-o-o-om!  It's just to support breast cancer awareness.
Me:  You're 13.  You will have to show your support another way.  Wear pink.

Sorry.  I just couldn't handle that one.   He may have wanted to help as one of his teachers from last year does have breast cancer.  But he is a 13 year old, walking, talking, raging male hormone.  I'm not totally buying his "awareness" reason.

Besides, he looks really good in pink.   Let him wear pink.

Later.

I agree, he can wear a pink shirt that says "save the tatas!"

We just had a conversation about those bracelets this morning! My hubs said some of his 6th grade students are wearing them and Travis said a kid in his class had one on the other day. I'm with you...not buying that these teen/preteen boys are suddenly all about promoting breast cancer awareness!!

I'd let him wear the bracelet. Then again, I have the sensiblities of a 13 year old boy. :)

Nice try, kiddo. Hey: tell him if he walks in a marathon and raises money for the cause, he will earn the right to wear the bracelet. :)
