I hope I didn't freak him out too bad

Today we had an a/c guy come to do some preventative maintenance on our system (hasn't been done since we moved in, figured it was time).  We scheduled it for this afternoon since I'd be able to be home, and Laura decided to take advantage of me being home by going to the gym.  Janelle insisted on going with Laura so she could play at the kids club, so it was just Spencer and me when the a/c guy arrived.

The guy took an immediate liking to Spencer (who can't?) and told me that he just has his first baby six days ago (a boy).  I congratulated him.  Throughout his visit he was shocked by just how busy Spencer was, I guess realizing that he was seeing a glimpse of his future.

At one point right before the guy left, Spencer ran up to me holding one of Janelle's tiaras on his head, and of course it was backward.  The guy looked at Spencer and said "whoa, look at that," with kind of a worried expression on his face.  I then took the tiara from Spencer, turned it around, and put it back on Spencer's head saying, "Spencer, it goes like this."

I wish I'd had a camera at that point because suddenly the guy just looked dumbfounded.  I couldn't quite tell exactly what he was thinking about me letting my son wear a tiara, but there was a definite reaction.

My Women's Studies teacher would be so proud.
