A squirrel!!! I am bursting with giggles, thanks for that image. :)

LOL, that's beautiful, and he probably didn't mind that much. Metrosexual is a MUCH more grownup designation, frankly, than EmoBoy.

(Look, if he doesn't want to be mistaken for a metrosexual, he shouldn't paint his pants on, wear nail polish and date EmoGirl. Just sayin'.)

I'm glad you found him adorable. I'm afraid I would have had to hold back laughter. (grin)

Don't you love it when our mouths leave our brains behind...

I just wish I could have seen Beau, and your face when you said it. But you did own up to it and that's the best lesson any young person could see.

Stay warm now...
