Thursday, Sept. 30, 2004 || "You are to me!" | ||
It�s Spirit Week at K�s school this week. You know, that week when kids are encouraged to dress goofy or in accord with some theme. A lot of fun for the kiddos, but often (I now realize) a hassle for parents trying to help gather together formal wear that is still school-appropriate or that perfect 70�s outfit. (Which, by the way, why choose that decade? Don�t they all already dress like that, just revamped a bit? One word: ponchos.) Tomorrow is �Famous Person� day. K, in a determined effort to again extend her school night curfew, attempted to distract me last night by asking how she could dress for that day. I was not buying into it (�we have tomorrow to come up with something, honey�) and was mildly distracted when she said brightly: �I know! I can dress up as you!� �K, I am not a famous person.� �You are to me!� �You are sweet. Thanks.� She smiled broadly. �But you still need to go to bed now.� So, the question is, was that a sentimental, mom-and-preteen bonding moment or an attempt to distract me further from reminding her that it was already past her bedtime? You be the judge. (But I think I�ll bask a little in the sweetness of it, even if I am being a bit naive.)
