Evan at Six: The man and his style 2009-07-08 - Around Kentucky - Photo by Pen. Evan is six. A man of the world. A coming star, his Mema and I know, for Southside Elementary, where an all new principal will face him this year. He's announced he is going to Washington, DC, and wanted to know if I had been there. "In the 1950's, I think," I told him. "Barack Obama wasn't President, then, was he?" he asked. Evan's birthday celebration in Columbia was accompanied by a bouncing game which required disassembly and elaborate re-arrangement of a day bed. He was, he announced, "Conducting a jumping clinic." At left, he was in his rock star mode eating an ice cream sandwich. At right - we had always underestimated his skills as a clothing coordinator - he had dressed himself. He was asked what he like best about the subdued ensemble, and he said, "The long socks. They are are just like Papaw's." We think he was talking about the length, not the somber color. We're sure hosiery fashion is more festive in Flatwoods, Greenup Co., KY, where his other grandparents, the ones he's pulled the wool over their eyes and the ones can manipulate into being his wait staff, live. LInda and I are on to this guy. -ED WAGGENER, Evan's Stern, Military Discipline, Granddad Permalink | Comments?
