See the photo? See the dude standing in the middle in the Marine dress uni? Okay, get a load of this ... my son has decided that he wants one. One never knows what Eli will gravitate towards, and surprisingly he has latched on to this. Evidently, Eli has been playing the DVD of A Few Good Men lately in his little portable DVD player (intermittedly, mind you, of Arthur and Seinfeld). If y'all have seen the movie you'll remember the scene where the guy who is supposed to testify the following day ... getting dressed for his impending suicide. It is THIS scene that Eli has played over and over again (minus the suicide).
He came to me sometime last week and said, "Mommy, I want a uniform like that." I sat for a while ... asked a ton of questions ... and HE HAS BEEN BUGGING ME EVER SINCE. So ... I got on the Internet to see what I could find. Eli was VERY specific about what he wanted .... so I searched, and I searched, and I searched. Finally ... hallelujah! ... I found one! I could only find one small enough that was new ... no luck finding one used (even on Ebay) ... or one that passed the "Eli litmus test," so it looks as if I am ordering the $128 uniform. It was listed at $185, but because it's an extra small I was able to get it for cheaper.
So ... stay tuned for photos of my handsome son in all his glory ...
This is gonna be interesting ...
