When will Mommy stop doing this to me?

I was just going through some pictures and came across this one, taken just before Meredith was about to leave for Australia. See how prettily dressed was Meredith? She came especially prepared (for their parting lunch), but Tobey didn't. Notice Tobey's body language? He couldn't even smile right! In fact, he was quite displeased to be put in this situation. He is at this phase where girls are not the closest thing on his mind...but he does have very exquisite taste for girls. I remembered him telling me when he was 5, that a little girl he saw at the bus stop is "not pretty". Oh dear...

Then what is pretty? In political correct moments, he would say, Mommy is the prettiest. That is so nice to hear...these days especially! But surely, Meredith is on his "pretty" list because he shyly agreed.
