Sports and Fashion Collide (4 Comments)
The Local Homeschool group is having a weekly sports time. Right now they are learning how to play soccer. This is for the older kids and The Boy just squeaks in. He has been enjoying it very much and it’s great for him to learn about various sports.
It’s at a local park and The Girls can play on the play structure with the other young children. Last week another Mom, Mrs. J, decided to take the younger ones- from about 5 up- and show them how to play too. Pixie decided she didn’t want to do that and played with the real young children. She likes to “mother” all the toddlers.
On the way home, Pixie asked-“Do the kids learning how to play soccer with Mrs. J have to wear the green thingys?”
Hmmm, green thingys? Oh yes, the green jerseys the kids on one team wear to distinguish the teams from each other.
No, the little kids don’t have to wear those.
“Oh, good! Then next week, I’ll go play with them!”
That’s my girl! Always got fashion on her mind.
She is too cute! I’m not the most fashionable lady out there but I can’t say I find the green jerseys attractive either. Maybe you could suggest, as the mom to an incredibly fashionable child, that they change the jerseys to some more flattering color and design. Tell me how that works for you, lol.

I know what she would think is great- PINK!
Now, getting all those boys out there to appreciate that one will be a challenge in itself.
