Tommy looks at himself in up and down in the mirror. "I look nice" he thinks to himself before pulling his sweater up a bit as it's hanging pretty low.

His father walks in to see him tying the sweater.  It goes a little bit above his stomach but he pulls it down. Tommys father stares with a little bit of shock before leaving the room. Ruffles his hair a bit before his mother walks in.

"oh" she says "what is it mum" he says looking at her with a little bit of glimmer in his eyes "your father said you made it look like you were wearing a crop top" "I tied up my sweater because it's baggy" he said with his voice fading at the end. 

"look sweetie when we wear clothes like that... Men or women will make assumptions about us ok?" 

"okay mom" he replies before his mom leaves the room. He stares at himself feeling like he was barely wearing anything. Shorts and a sweater. He replaced the shorts with jeans and untied the sweater. The baggy mess hung off him, he didn't want to be assumed to be anything.


Mother knows better than me.
