So, while we were away, much to my dismay, Jeremy got a tattoo. It's hideous and tacky. I can't stand to look at it. And of all places, it's located on his forearm. But I have to constantly remind myself that it's his body, not mine, and just let it go. Ever since I found out, I kept thinking of what we are going to tell our children. I don't want my boys to grow up wanting tattoos (particularly in places that cannot be covered up all year round). It would just break my heart. (I do have 2 myself but they are small and in places that cant be seen while clothed...and yes, I do regret them).
Tonight while playing with his Daddy...
Connor: "That's garbage." (pointing to Jeremy's arm) "Take it off."
Jeremy: "Buddy, I can't take it off."
Connor: "Can't you wipe it off or something?"
I just stood in the kitchen resisting the urge to laugh out loud. Somebody seems to be on Mommy's side.
Haha that's so funny. Ashlyn wants tatoos. She thinks it's so cool. (sigh)
ReplyDeleteWhere's the picture of his new tatoo? I want to see the tackiness!
