My grandaughter came home from school telling of her part in the Christmas play - she is to play the 'mum' of a family getting ready for Christmas. Sooooo! all she needs is to dress up like a typical mum! What!
I see a playground full of typical mums every day but they all dress very differently so no wonder she rejected all my suggestions. She doesn't have a mummy of her own to use as a copy as her own mummy died when she was 4 years old so she only has me and it must be said I look like her old nanny. However! after going through every garment she possesses we came to an outfit and off she went today for the dress rehearsal. She wore a dress (not trousers like all the mums do) with a cardigan, black tights with pumps and to crown the outfit she wore an apron - an apron! - do mums still wear aprons in the kitchen? She got it right as her teacher who is a very trendy lady it has to be said told her she looked just right. So come Thursday afternoon I will be there to support her, pretending not to cry and knowing that Julie, her mum, would have been proud of her.
This wee story nearly made me cry. I'm sure you're as lovely a mum as she could ever hope to have.
ReplyDeleteOh what a nice thing to say but nobody can take the place of your own mum can they? Sorry Annie it wasn't meant to be sad as Georgi and I laughed our socks off as she tried on all her 'cool' gear. She is my delight.
ReplyDeleteAh that's so lovely. I showed Phil your wee story too and he was a bit sad. He's a big softie underneath his nonchalance. haha. I'm glad you'se had a laugh and what a lovely way for someone to think of you. She sounds really cute. x
