So a few months ago Loren discovered the "Cowboy Spur". He just had to have some. Well, they were all too big. Spurs aren't meant for a 3 year old! The other day we were in a feed store and there in a glass case was a pair of small brown spurs. "are those my size mommy?" Loren asked. "I don't know. You will have to ask." The 2 employees working the counter never noticed the 3 foot something little boy waiting patently for them to notice him. "Say, 'Excuse me' loud enough for them to hear you." I whispered to him.
"Excuse me?" Loren said in a loud buy timid voice.
"Yes, can I help you?" they noticed him! Yeah!!
"Are those child’s spurs?" Loren pointed to them through the glass.
"I am not sure. Would you like to try them on?" the lady replied.
"Yes I would, thank you." Loren said very politely. I almost fainted at just how confident he was about getting what he wanted from a stranger. He lifted his little foot up and she slipped the spur on. It fit!!
"Can I get them mommy, please?" Loren was so excited. I didn't even ask about the price. I just said sure and bought them for him. We went home, put them on and he got all dressed up to ride Slick. I told him he could not touch his pony with them or he might take off with him. He understood and could hardly wait to jump on Slick and ride off into the sunset like a real cowboy. Unfortunately, I would not let him ride, only get his picture taken without his helmet on. He didn't like that much, but too bad. Mommy rules are rules.
Later that night, he told his daddy he was a real cowboy now and was going to sleep with his spurs on. :new_shocked: We though otherwise. Even real cowboys don't sleep in spurs.
