New Things

Last night Mr X and I went out to the sporting goods store and among our purchases was a new snowboarding helmet for him. He's so excited about it that he's been wearing it nearly any chance he can. Never mind that it was about 80 degrees today. Never mind that we live at the beach. He ate dinner with it on. He made the bed with it on. He chatted people up on the phone with it on. It actually won't surprise me if he wears it to bed. Or tries to... He informed me very seriously that he was 'breaking it in' - then he proceeded to run into door frames and walls to illustrate his point.
