Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day. In honor of the occasion, Alden wore her favorite pair of pants.
Take a closer look.
I mean, these are extraordinary pants. The leg length is appropriate, but the distance from crotch to waistband is staggering. For whom were they designed? I'd love to see the child that fits them properly. Or perhaps that child would be terrifying.
Because it was Father's Day, my good friend and fellow father Christian was in town (with his wife and child).
It seemed appropriate to document the occasion.
Here is a closer look at Iris, who is coming along nicely.
And here's another look at Alden in her remarkable pants.
I mean, what is it with these pants? There is no way that any part of her pants should be visible in this photo.
I mean, they are horrible, these pants. Just awful. So grotesque as to demand a long stare. I feel like a rubbernecking driver, slowing down to see the grisly carnage on the other side of the highway.
The humanity! The horror! I cannot tear my eyes away.
And yet she seems to take it all in stride, comfortable and secure in herself and in her pants. If only we could bottle this moment and hand it off to her when she hits seventh grade. Who knows? These pants might well still fit her then, at least from the crotch to the waistband.
