<p>Conversation between me and kiddo last summer:
geek<em>mom: So, what color bedding do you want?
geek</em>son: o.</p>
<p>Lol, geek mom, but so true! D left for vacation and handed me a list of 27 specific items she needs before she moves back to school. This morning I asked S, a rising senior, when he would like to go school shopping and he looked at me like I had two heads! I suggested he might need some new jeans and sneakers and he replied that he’d like new skates and football cleats. Then he asked for my credit card…</p>
<p>“Shopping with boys. It’s not fun, but it’s easy.” </p>
<ul>
<li>shopping with kid of any ages/sex should be avoided at all cost. My way - I bring whole bag of stuff home, D. choose, the rest is returned. We do it even with some items of clothing. We go together only when we really want to spend time together, but then shopping trip has totally different meanning.</li>
</ul>
<p>

<p>I’d love it if D2 asked me to go out and get what she needed and just bring it back! I don’t mind shopping, but my youngest looks at every possible choice before she makes a decision. Even stuff that she knows she wants (toiletries, for example)–she’s looking for other options that might be better. Drives me crazy. My idea of shopping is go in, get it and get out. That’s why I love shopping on line.</p>
<p>LandsENd is my friend. For most of my S’s life, I’ve just bought about the same stuff in slowly increasing sizes.</p>
<p>reviving old thread…</p>
<p>contemplating indulging d with PB Teen Dottie Sheets, but I am skeptical of the sizing. They say the fitted portion fits on EITHER twin OR twin XL.</p>
<p>Does the fitted sheet fit ok on a Twin XL mattress???</p>
