Change, my friends, is a comin'. When AJ grows up, no matter which profession he chooses, you can expect him to make some changes.
For instance, there will be no decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Walking into the fully decked mall yesterday, AJ announced, "When I'm president, if a store puts up Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving, I'll tell it it has to close for a week!"
Speaking of change, note the new eyeglasses, which was the reason for our trip to the mall.
These frames can bend and stretch in ways I didn't think possible. In other words, they're hopefully flexible enough to survive puppies and hockey helmets.
As we waited for the new glasses to be ready, we stopped for lunch in the food court. AJ, die-hard fan of Potato Olés that he is, chose Taco John's. Watching me fill our glasses with pop, AJ said, "Wouldn't it be nice if we had our own cups and we could get pop any time we wanted? If I owned a Taco John's, I would say that pop is free." He paused to analyze this business decision, then announced, with the wisdom of a six-year-old, "I'd still charge for children's drinks, but pop is free."
Coincidentally, the movie Big was on TV last night. AJ loved it. During a commercial break, as I attempted to take a nice photo of him in his new glasses, he made clear something else that would change if he was the one making decisions. You can look however you want in pictures:
 |
| The "pretending to sleep" pose |
 |
| The "pretending to be shocked/scared by something on TV" pose |
 |
| The "I crack myself up" smile |
Yes, if AJ was in charge, there'd never be a dull moment. But come to think of it, that's not much of a change from how it is now.
