That Stinks!

This morning while the kids were getting ready for school I was running through the checklist of things they needed to remember for the day. Garrett is staying after school and riding with his basketball team to the gym for their team pictures and subsequent game and he is EXTREMELY forgetful! We have put his lunch bag in his hand only to find it sitting on the table (or floor or couch or bathroom sink!) after he is on the bus. So we often check and double check that he has everything he needs. Garrett gets frustrated with my asking "silly questions" but I wasn't taking any chances today.

"Do you have your uniform?"
"Yes."
"Can I see it?"
"UGH!"
"Do you have your shoes?"
"I'm WEARING them! Duh!"

After a few more questions I asked him "Do you have your deodorant?" He looked at me like I had lost my mind and said "NO. Why would I take that?" Before I could say anything Lindsay busted out "If you wanna get a girlfriend you gotta wear deodorant!" Garrett just smiled and went to the bathroom to retrieve it.
