Tonight I took my kids out to dinner (Old Country Buffet) since my DH is working late. A lot of you know that my 4 1/2 year old Luke has a HUGE knowledge, respect, and love for our military. When you ask him what he would like to be when he grows up, his answer since he's been 2 was always "A Marine" now since he saw the airshow last weekend his answer is "A Marine and a Blue Angel Pilot" 
Well...tonight he wore his cammo outfit. His outfit is axactly the same as any military persons fatigues complete with little black boots and his United States Navy hat. He had his USMC t-shirt on with it also.
Well...while I took him up to the buffet a group of people were up there also getting their food - they looked at my son and stopped dead in their tracks. The one woman (about 35-40 years old) turned to him and said "why on earth would your mother dress you in that ridiculous, innapropriate outfit?"
Innapropriate? Ridiculous? What is so innapropriate and ridiculous about it? All I said was "he wears it because he wants to be a Marine when he grows up" and gave her my evil mom glare.
Usually when he wears this outfit (which is quite often) he gets compliments and people say how cute he looks.
I felt so sad for him...fortunately, he didn't fully understand what she said cause he asked me what she meant. I just convinced him that she thought he looked really handsome and cool.
How could this face offend anyone?
