We were preparing to go to my mom’s for my birthday. The kids wanted to please me.

– Dad, you’re so old… what did people wear in your time?
– Well, we had plaid shirts open over tee-shirts.
– Oh that’s fun, can we try?

A very handsome, humble man in his forties was sitting on a sofa with his sons around him, either sitting on his lap or leaning on the armrest.

So we all tried. We’re far from grunge, but they were happy.

A couple day after:

– Can we go to school wearing Grinch? It’s so stylish!
– Grinch?… with the shirt and the tee-shirt?
– Yeah, that!
