Snyder’s 3-year-old: ‘I’m dressed like a congressman with no pants on!’

Rep. Vic Snyder’s (D-Ark.) son, Penn, is almost 4 years old, and he’s beginning to want to dress like his dad. Just without the pants. 

Penn was being dressed this week for an annual Easter photo with his three brothers; Penn will turn 4 in May, and his brothers are 15-month-old triplets. 

Snyder’s wife, Betsy, told ITK it was no problem getting her eldest son into a blue shirt and blazer, but the pants were another story.

“I’m dressed like a congressman, but I don’t have any pants on!” the toddler said.

Funny. There have been a few actual congressmen with that problem, too.

As Snyder recalled, “Yep, all he had on below was his underwear, a nice selection of fire engines and doggies.”

Betsy told her son, in mock seriousness: “Yeah, well, let’s not go around telling people you’re dressed like a congressman with no pants on.”

Good call, Mrs. Snyder.

Snyder also wrote about the incident on her blog, Stepping on Cheerios, at www.arkansasmamas.com.
