We were due to leave in mere hours, and Rick was at work, so I loaded up Truman and we hit Old Navy. The store is dangerously close to the house and the prices are so below reasonable that I knew if I picked out a pair he hated it wouldn’t hurt to tuck them in a drawer and forget about them. I did call Rick and ask if he had a preference in color – he prefers solid-colored suits. No Hawaiian flowers, nothing that’ll stand out in a crowd. He likes black, too. So I bought him this cute black swimsuit with white skulls all over it. Matches a pair of Truman’s boxer briefs!

Truman wanted in on the fun, so I let him pick out the other pair for his Daddy. Truman was immediately drawn to the American flag designs. I swear they cut up a real, nylon flag to make those things. Rick cringed, but because his darling boy so proudly presented them to him, Rick wore those screaming loud swim trunks on the beach. What a devoted Dad! I can’t wait to see what Truman picks out for Daddy for Father’s Day!

All-Star Dad Wears Anything Son Picks Out

We’re not obese, but want to be comfortable in our clothes, can breathe without puffing up the stairs, and can run easily if we have to chase after a wandering Alzheimer’s patient.

Also, by losing some of those pounds, we may be helping the environment and cutting down on global warming! 

 ”What!”  you say.  “Obesity/overweight and global warming are connected?”

 Yes, a study has come out that obesity may contribute to global warming.  My co-blogger, Liz Lewis, also writes at b5 media’s Health Bolt.  You may find this blogpost  interesting, Fact or Fiction: Obesity is Contributing to Global Warming?.

What will they think of next?  Let us know what you think.
