You may be the mother of a teenaged boy if:
1. Much of what you have purchased for him for Christmas is apparel.
2. You decide that it's a good idea for him to try on some of said apparel before wrapping those items - notwithstanding that that will spoil the surprise - because you suspect that some things are too short or too tight. Good call, because YES, and YES, and everything pant and jean ended up having to go back to be exchanged for bigger sizes.
3. You end up taking one shirt and one pair of pants out of the gift column and give them to him in advance, after you realize that, while he has a sports coat and slacks to wear to holiday functions with the one dress shirt that currently fits him, that's pretty much ALL he has to wear to holiday functions. And swapping out a different tie only gets you so far.
You may be the mother of a teenaged boy AND an elementary school kid if all of your holiday photos look like the one above, and you find yourself sympathizing with the photographer who had to get Manute Bol in the same frame as Spud Webb and Muggsy Bogues.
