I need more clothes ....

When I went to pick up Alex from cross-country on Thursday I noticed he had a big rip in his shirt. He looked like someone had cut off the bottom half of the front of his t-shirt. I could see his belly button but not his back. He looked ridiculous. This is his undershirt that he wears underneath his shirt. He usually just runs in that for cross-country.
When I asked him what happened his cross-country coach said "Oh, let me tell you this is great. When Alex went to school today he was suppossed to bring a white cloth because they were going to dye them in science class. Well, Alex didn't have a white cloth so he just cut his undershirt and used that for his white cloth".
Like I said Alex is very independent. When all else fails use your clothes.
The best part is I told his coach that a couple of weeks ago he came home with his shirt ripped. I asked him what happened then and he said "I accidentally ripped a boys shirt at school when I was playing around with him. Rather then make him feel bad I ripped mine too so we would be even." So now Alex has two ripped shirts.
side-note: I do want you to know that as a mother I knew that he needed a white cloth for school. When he asked me for one I said "Sure you can get one out of the cupboard above the dryer". He just didn't bother to go get it.
