Kate's dad was a captain in the Merchant Marines. He drove ships for a living. In other words, he was a sailor.
So, naturally, Kate's mom had to buy Adrian a sailor outfit as a tribute to Tom. (Or maybe because it happened to be on sale.) It has blue stripes, a little white bow and even comes with its own little bitty Dixie cup hat.
Looks like something Shirley Temple would wear.
Which is precisely why it's been hidden under the living room couch for the past month and a half. Until Carol pressured Kate into pressuring me into divulging its whereabouts.
I'm hoping he never has to wear it. And if he does, I'm hoping I never have to witness it.
The irony is I'm pretty sure Kate's dad wouldn't approve of his grandson wearing this outfit either. He'd much rather see Adrian in a Giants jersey ... which coincidentally his Aunt Janis already got him. (And is currently hidden under the bed.)
