Purple Flip Flops

Yesterday while shopping at WalMart, we went to the shoe department.  There were racks and racks of  brightly colored flip flops and for only $2 a pair!  What fun!  I told the younger three boys they could pick out a pair for their summer play shoes.  Tim picked out a bright blue pair, Addan a dark green pair.  I held up a pair of royal blue ones and said, "How about these, Titus?"

  

Titus has a very strong personality.  He knows WHAT he likes and doesn't like!  He said, "No, I like those!" and pointed to a bright purple pair.  Oh great,,how to deal with this one :)    "Purple?"  I asked.    "Yes, Mom, it's my favorite color!"  he said.    I asked, "Isn't it a girl's color?"    With a cute grin and knowing look,  Titus said, "No!  It's MY favorite color!"   Guess he thought since it's HIS favorite color and he's NOT a girl,, it can't be a girl color!    So we compromised.  I said, "I'll buy you those purple ones to wear and play around the house but these blue ones you have to wear out in public."   

He just looked at me like I was weird and said, "Ok."  Guess he thought it was great to get two pairs out of the deal :)

This is how he left the table this morning,,, so cute!
