the dude necklace

a couple of weeks ago, monkey boy was begging me to wear one of his sister's necklaces to school. it wasn't a girlie necklace but it did have a silver "K" pendent. so i said no but he kept insisting that it was a dude necklace and that he could pull off the look. *rolls eyes*

i told obsidian about this the other day and about how my son loves to decorate himself. of the 3 kids, he is the only one who bothers to match his clothes and tries to accessorise. anyways, 2 days ago, obsidian came over and surprised MB with a dude necklace. she allowed him some creative expression with the middle piece as she finished the beading and tied the string together, he was beaming from ear to ear.

the moment he put the dude necklace on, he never took it off... except for when he went to sleep ... he slid it over his head and kept it safely under his pillow. but when he woke again, he put it right on. he's already asked me to ask obsidian to make him another one in black so that he can match his more "macho" looks *rolls eyes again*.
