The day Thomas wasn't cool anymore

Of course we knew this day would come. But we just weren't sure when. The signs were there - the Thomas the Train toys remained in their backpack for months. No trains took trips around the house or even saw the light of day. Zack would rather play with his toys than watch Thomas and Friends on the weekend. And then there was today... They had a "picnic" day at daycare today and I packed a lunch for Zack. He was so excited all morning about being able to take a snack bag of Dorito's. Well that was until I looked for a lunch bag for him to take the food in. The only insulated one we had for him was a Thomas the Train one. It was large enough to fit all of his lunch, but when I offered it to him, he choose to take a smaller plain black insulated bag instead (oddly enough, it was an old baby bottle insulated bag!) - even though it meant not having the coveted bag of Doritos. Wow, I never thought he would choose "looking cool" over a bag of Doritos!!
