Hello All--
My daughter (difficult child) is a beautiful girl with an extensive wardrobe. Of course, you'd never know it to look at her--doesn't like to shower, doesn't fix her hair, and despite having a closet full of pretty dresses, skirts, nice sweaters, etc etc--she wears the same three or four T-shirts with jeans over and over and over again (Yes, the same girl who needs to know the exact temperature before she decides what to wear in the morning...20 degrees? Hmmm, I guess a T-shirt and jeans...60 degrees? Hmmm, I guess a T-shirt and jeans...85 degrees? Hmmm, I guess a T-shirt and jeans.).
I have begged her on numerous occassions to wear one of her nice outfits. eg.--It's your school presentation today...how about wearing a skirt? It's your orchestra concert..how about wearing one of your pretty dresses? We're going out for a nice dinner...how about putting on your nice sweater? To no avail...
So this morning, difficult child leaves for school showered, her hair is fixed and she has chosen a wear a sweater and a plaid skirt. Wow! What's the occassion?
Turns out--it's "Nerd Day" at school...
