Shopping with Son

Shopping with son

We wanted a claret sweater
He wanted a claret sweater
claret or burgandy not cherry or red
He is a redhead
"darling it will clash"
"I don't need a sweater I have a hoody"
Oh great, thinks I, he will look unkempt
a bit of a refugee
We covered many shops buying PJs and pants
always he wanted the ones in pristine packets
My poor deprived son
who did not want to ask his Dad for clothes
"its just not done" "I don't want to be a leech"
I pointed out a heather blue
with a nice cuffed up toning shirt , but no
it had to be dark red and didn't exist
But I have found one on ebay and sent it on
He will have something warm and soft at Uni
He will
and tomorrow I will buy him a lamp and a manly "throw"
if such a thing exists
