The Tie

When Kurtis isn't sporting scrubs to work, he always wears a shirt, tie and slacks. He usually likes me to pick out his tie for him, you know, to make it a "cute outfit" or something??? This is what happened following the tie selection this morning:

Kurtis: "You should try to tie the tie"
Me: "But I don't really know how to, I've just seen you and my dad do it"
Kurtis: "Just try"
Me: (thinking: "I know he's not going to give up, so here it goes...")

{ tie, tie, tie }
I proudly show him the tie

Kurtis: "Congratulations, you've just successfully tied the Deacon knot, you even left the back longer than the front"
Me: { laugh, laugh }
Kurtis: "I'm going to look like a twelve-year old at work today"

So much like his brother. Instead of praising you for getting so close on your first try he has to tell you why you did it wrong!
