Robin went into the bedroom he shared to his younger sister. He was in a funk. While he grabbed clothes out of the closet to get dressed he thought, 'Why is Mom doing this to me? Why does she want to embarrass me? What did I do to her?'
As those thoughts went through his mind, he pulled on a pair of jeans from the closet without really looking at them, and not noticing that they were a pair of his sister's jeans, nor did he notice either the lack of back pockets or the pretty stitching.
Before heading out, he picked up his lucky stone.
Seeing her son was ready she said, "Okay Honey, lets go."
As she followed her son toward the car, she noticed that his hair seemed to be too long. 'When did he last get his hair cut? He needs to get it cut again.'
"Don't worry, Honey. Everything will be fine. No one will tease you. I bet you even have fun."
"I wish." He said under his breath.
