Today I decided to get a little funky with my clothes. I dressed up in a cute tween Christmas shirt that had big-eyed animals on it with sayings like, "All I want for Christmas is the cutest puppy ever, the coolest friends ever, the sweetest candy ever," etc. I topped it off with borrowed candy cane earings from my daughter.
I actually went to a Christmas cookie exchange dressed like this.
When my daughter came home from school she said, "Awww. I love that shirt! Can I have it for Christmas?" Then she noticed my earings. "Did you take my earings?"
"Borrowed them."
"You look like me!"
Later that evening, a young lady came to the door with some kind of fundraiser. I answered the door. She looked at me. "Hi," she said. "Can I talk to your mother?"
She couldn't believe it when I grinned and said, "I am the mother!"
Ha!
