Attention to detail

The scene: Momma drying her hair in the bathroom. The Boy, having just come in from a run with Daddyman, flops on the floor to "hang out." (He thinks it's going to rain, so he doesn't want to play outside.)

Boy: We not going to school today, Momma.

Momma: Yes, we're going to school. You're going to school and I'm going to work.

Boy: But why you got your sandal-flops on?

Momma: (looks down at her bare toes in sandals, which, technically, are forbidden by the company's dress code, though it's Florida and everyone flouts the rule, especially on Fridays) I want to wear my sandal-flops.

Boy: Where your work shoes?

Momma: They're over there. But I want to wear my sandals.

Boy: I think you better wear your work shoes.

Momma: (sighing) Fine. You're probably right.

Boy: (brings over red flats) Here.

Maybe he has a future in human resources.
