Aug. 7, 2006 Day 222: Barefoot in the Park

During a recent visit to the park, I noticed that my mom had dressed me in a pair of half-trousers with an American flag pattern on them.

It was at that moment that I, Hudson, got my first taste of patriotism... I realized that I was as American as organic apple baby food, baseball and Jeep strollers.

I've now been wearing those shorts for four days, and despite some wrastling with mom and dad, I refuse to take them off... because that would be un-American. And to all of my blog readers who send me clothes in the mail, you can donate them to some other non-patriotic infant. I have all the clothes that I need.
