The Yu-Gi- Oh Shirt

 Sandy and I jumped at the invitation to baby sit while Laurie accompanied Bill to a

 business meeting in Washington, D.C.  Ben, almost five, was very independent; he

 always chose his own clothes and dressed himself.  But this particular day was picture

 day at nursery school and, before leaving, Laurie laid out the clothes she wanted Ben 

 to wear.  He awoke early that morning and pulled on his Yu-Gi-Oh  Japanese cartoon

 character shirt.  I explained to Ben he would get me in trouble because Mommy told me

 what he should wear, and Mommy would be mad at me.  Ben smiled and understood, but

 willfully insisted on wearing the Yu-Gi-Oh shirt.  Grandma Sandy to the rescue!  She is

 more clever than I, and immediately knew the solution: Of course Ben could wear the

 Yu-Gi-Oh shirt, but let’s put the red sweater on over the shirt---and he was satisfied with

 that.  But Sandy also took the precaution of calling the nursery school teacher to be sure

 he kept on his red sweater  for the photos
