Newly Twelve is Too Soon, Ezekiel! (April 2024)

 

From the time he was a toddler with an affinity for vests and bow ties, Grandma Owen was Zeke's benefactor in all things sartorial. The year before she went Home, she bought Zeke a couple of suits to last him through the year, including this vibrant blue one, so I took this picture to send to her. Look at that handsome young man, eh?

THEN HE PULLED THIS OUT OF HIS POCKET.

NOOOOO!!!!! 

Not the pursed-lips-furrowed-brow Look of A Gen Z Male Teenager-- noooooooo!!!

I forbid it, in totality. 

Phew. That's better.
