Smooth Operator

Going through some old magazines so I can toss them, I found this story in Reader's Digest.  It made me laugh so I had to share.

My teenager was headed to school one morning when I told him that the neck tag on his shirt was hanging out.  "I know," he replied.  "It's a fad me and some of the guys started."  Weeks later, as the style persisted, I commented, "I can't stand it!  Every time I see that, I want to fix it for you."  I gently tucked the tag in place and rumpled his hair.  "Yeah," he said, smiling slyly.  "All the girls do."

Boys!

Of course, my son never had to resort to such things.
