You know it's bad when . . .

I was driving my son to school this morning, and I noticed that his socks were not appropriate for his uniform.  I asked him about it, and he said, "Mom, I don't have any more clean socks, and this is my last clean undershirt".  I have to appreciate that he just dealt with it and did not say anything to me until i brought it up.  I asked him if he had clean underwear left in the drawer.  Yes.

I sent one of my staff members to Target for 7 new undershirts and 7 pairs of dress sock.  I've become 'that mother'.

What I like is the apparent acceptance of the duty by your staff person.  I have always been one to consider my job description to be anything the employer asks, pays me for, and is not against any laws or contracts (the one time I did union work), or against my morals.
