So today when I picked DS up from after-school care, one of his friends was being picked up at the same time. As I opened the car door for DS, his friend said "You sit in a car seat?" Not in a nasty way, just in an observational way, but I didn't like where it was heading. (DS has never had that comment from a friend, to my knowledge.)
I could see that there was no booster in the friend's car, so I said "Yes, and you should too - you're the same size he is." (Actually I was hoping the mom would hear me, but she was busy with her darn cell phone.)
And then, settling into his booster behind me, DS chimes in with "Yeah, my mom's a car seat ... surgeon!" :scratcheshead:
(Of course, I was also quite proud of him for not being bothered by his friend's questioning. :thumbsup: )
