Fashion Sense

Second grader, MK, was having speech today, working on her S.  She was reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. That book is filled with the /s/ sound and I was keeping data to see how many she said correctly.   In this particular book, all 3 bears ride in to the woods on a bicycle to let their porridge cool.  Mother Bear is wearing a green dress, a hat with flowers and goggles.  MK stopped reading and said emphatically, while pointing to Mother Bear, "That is UGLY!"  
Me:  What's ugly?  Mother Bear's hat?
MK "Not just the hat, everything; her dress and those weird glasses!"  Then looking very important she stated, "My Mom KNOWS fashion!"
Me: "Really, how do you know she knows fashion?"
MK: "She's always going shopping at the mall!  She especially shops at Claire's and Dillards!"
"in fact," she continued, "I find something I really like and she just looks at it then won't buy it!"  She sighed, while smoothing the pants of her blue velour suit.
I looked at the picture in the book and knew deep down that MK's mom would not approve of Mother Bear's attire, either.


Speaking of fashion sense, we (when I say we, I mean the hubs) are remodeling a deserted bedroom.  We (again, we know who "we" is) have taken the "popcorn" off the ceiling (it's an older home), put in a new window, and re-did the closet.  Here's the beginning of the painting.  




Does it look a little too bright?  It just seems like yellow is the right color to paint this room on a dreary winter day.  I think we'll save on electricity.  I'll post about the finished product when "we" are finished!

I can't imagine any other color than yellow. I am glad that you are getting some help with the project. That is what husbands are for!

I think little children know fashion better these days than we do!! Funny that they pick up on it in the little books they read :) Cute story.

Yellow is perfect and sunny and happy and you!
Smiles :))

If only parents knew that their kids tell all - ha ha!! What a crack up.
The yellow is going to be perfect and happy in the room - can't wait to see the finished pictures!
Happy Friday Connie :-)

Oh the stories tha you hear. I bet you could write a book.

I think the bedroom will look great. I totally know the popcorn thing. I grew up in a house with the same stuff.

Love yellow! I think in a house yellow is a perfect color choice! I painted part of my kitchen in a yellow. Makes you happy whenever you walk into the room. Can't wait to see the end result! I love following your blog.

If you see her Mother.. I would tell her. I'm sure it would make her smile. I get things like this often...

Good thing for you to remove the popcorn. -- And I ADORE the Yellow!!
Yellow is so happy.. and light.. and cheerful. My kitchen has been for 6 years.. and I still LOVE it!

Can't wait to see the finished product. I hope when I grow up and get married I find myself a handy-man that can do things like that:)

Kids are funny, aren't they? Love the color you chose for your room. I'm a fan of color, however. I say, don't be wishy-washy with Navajo White. Pick a color scheme and be bold! I get quite excited picking out colors.

Oh goodie! Now I'll have a place to stay when I come down tomorrow.

So cute! Kids can be so entertaining. I love yellow rooms. So cheery in the winter. Mimi

Yvonne said...

I heard one time that yellow is very inviting so that if you do a guest room yellow expect the guests to STAY ; )

LOL at MK My children probably always told their teachers that their mom had NO FASHION SENSE ; )

Jenny Lynn said...

yellow seems like the perfect color, it is cheery, bright and fun.

mCat said...

I was leery when my friends wanted to paint Sissy's room yellow, but not that it's there - it is cheery and uplifting!

I forgot all about popcorn on the ceiling until you mentioned it. GAH - that reminds me of my husbands home that he grew up in
