Most people know that. I am well aware that my child walks around like a movie star although she looks like Janis Joplin in the later years. Yesterday was no exception. Pink flower dress, flower tights, a bright pink sweater - all in various shades of pink. Not THAT bad. At least it all fit. The accessories may have been a little over the top. She wore bright pink flowered Minnie Mouse sunglasses, a pink rose flower girl headband, pink and purple necklaces and bracelets... it was all very, very pink.
Most people in public look at her and smile. We give each other knowing glances as they tell her how lovely she looks and ask her how old she is.
In the mall restroom yesterday, one lady stopped and stared in shock and horror. She looked completely disgusted and muttered "Wow. She looks um, she's just very, um, she's um..."
She was lost for words and clearly did not approve. I interjected, "Done up? Yes I know."
Lady (still completely disgusted says back to me), "Wow. Yes, she's very done up for such a..."
Elise looks at the lady, looks back and me and says loud and clear, "Wow. She's very old for a grandma."
