The Happy Geek: Spud Special

Spud Special

The other day I was watching Spud. He was talking to his dad on the phone and pacing, just like he has seen me do, countless times. His head was down and he was deep in conversation.

Looking at him in his size 4 shirt and new haircut holding the phone by himself made me realize how big he is getting. It made my heart a little sad.

Then I looked a little closer and realized his pants were on backwards.

Guess I don't need to worry about signing him up for college just yet.
