To make up for telling XY11 I couldn't take him to the skate park, I told him he could have some friends over and skate in the cul de sac or go to the neighborhood park. He came with one of his friends, named Christian or Cody or Daniel, because as far I can tell, all of his friends are called Christian or Cody or Daniel. XY11 showed up with his skinny tight jeans, skate shirt and long puffy/shaggy hair. Christian/Cody/Daniel also had...tight skinny jeans, skate shirt and long puffy/shaggy hair. A third boy showed up, another Christian/Cody/Daniel looking just like the first two. By the time the fourth boy showed up, I am embarrassed to say I had a hard time picking XY11 out of the crowd. It was like football season. They all had bony shoulders stretching out there faded t-shirts, and holes in the knees of there jeans. The only thing not angular and slim on these 10 and 11 year old boys was their gravity defying hair. They all looked liked Tootsie Pops that had been dropped in cat hair. They looked like hair lollipops.
A fourth boy showed up named Brock. That was not his only nod to individuality. He had a baseball cap with a skate logo on his mass of hair. It had to be an extra large.
