Thank you- I am queen of this 'hood and that's bad enough.

Just got back from taking Ammo to get his prom tux. He gave up on the Matrix look and choose the Regis millionaire look--black shirt, silver tie.
It's a wrenching moment for a mom-- that first tux. The girl measuring him said, height?
6 feet, he said
(22 inches, I thought)
Weight?
150 he said
(8 lb 11 oz, I thought)

This is my baby, I said to the girl. Ammo patted me on the head. He is a lot better about eyerolling than CW was. I hugged him. We were all warm and happy.
"That's 20.00 deposit or you can pay all of it now-- 109.00." The girl smiles somewhere between us.
I turn to Ammo, inquiringly. He looks at me blankly.
Pay? Pay? It's not free? says his expression.
Do you have any money? I ask.
I lost my wallet, he says.
When?
About two weeks ago, he says.
You've been driving without a license for two weeks?
I thought I'd find it.

Guess who paid. I sign the charge and turn around. Ammo is standing there looking dapper in a black fedora.
Can I have this too?
