Requests

This week has gotten ahead of me. Because now that it’s officially May, every end of school/preschool, Cinco de Mayo, spring fling, Mother’s Day, field day, open house, book fair, zoo day event is scheduled to take place sometime during the next two to three weeks. This would be fine, maybe even fun, except that I’m all “type-A-I-can-only-handle-one-event-at-a-time” frazzled about it.

Hence, not much blogging has been happening.

But, I did have a great conversation over lunch with the Preschooler concerning my wardrobe for the Mother’s Day Tea her class is going to be hosting:

Me: Hey, what would like me to wear for the tea?

The Preschooler {without batting an eye}: A zebra shirt.

Me: Oh, OK.

The Preschooler: But, not one with a tail on it.

I love that her instinctive response is “zebra shirt” as if it’s a go-to item in my closet. And, while the part about the tail may sound like a strange request, you should know that her younger sister regularly sports shirts with tails, and in fact, owns a zebra one. Like this:

So, you see, it’s a valid concern that I might try to wear a shirt with a tail. But, I promised the Preschooler that I would forgo a tail at the tea. I’m not saying I’m giving them up completely, but I won’t wear one that particular day.
