Got Mr. Clod to take Stepson out shopping today. They replaced all the basics (he'd outgrown pants and sleep shirts, and destroyed underwear and socks) and also bought several nicer items to, quote, "spiff up" his wardrobe, as Stepson has recently decided he'd like to be the kind of guy who wears fashion-forward dress shirts with vests and/or ties on a regular basis. Happy #1 is I didn't have to deal with any of that, but Happy #2 is Mr. Clod made it clear to Stepson that these voluntary nicer items counted as Christmas presents, which means I have less stuff to panic-purchase in the next week.

Bonus Happy #3, the suit place they went to for some of the dress shirts was going out of business, and Mr. Clod picked up two really nice suits for himself for like $50 each.
