My Son - Rescue Hero

Drove the Dude to pre-school today. With partly-sunny skies and a predicted high of 75, many would be surprised to see him in his winter boots! But not those who know him in his new role - Rescue Hero. Apparently a Rescue Hero always wears boots - and a walkie-talkie on his belt. I carried along a pair of tennis-shoes, despite his insistence that he would not wear them. "Rescue Heroes don't wear tennis-shoes, they wear boots." I am able to get him to remove the walkie-talkie during class. We stash it in his "cubbie". I've convinced him that others will answer the call when he's "off duty".
