Talk to me & the pink hijab

So, umm, hi! Happy Friday! Is it just me or is everyone really distracted? Who can think of something other than the next American president? And while we’re on the subject, who thinks that everyone in the rest of the world should also get to vote in the American elections??

Anyway, I usually wear grey, brown, blue or black – I don’t know why because I am totally attracted to color – but I loved this pink hijab, bought it about 2 years ago and never wore it even once! One day I decided to wear it to work, and I asked my fashion consultant, aka my 6 year old, for his thoughts on how it looked. Now, my 6 year old has a keen interest in fashion… he will straight up tell me when I look totally absurd, and he has particular items of clothing that he likes and don’t like – on me!

My 6 year old said that he liked the pink hijab, but he didn’t think that I should wear it to work, maybe it would be better if I had to go to “somebody’s house” or something like that! What do you think?

Officially 6

So, first thing this morning, he wanted to pee, so he rushed into the bathroom while I was in there and said “mommy, you know, I didn’t grow! I didn’t even get any bigger today!” And I laughed, because, well, that’s how I roll! So he said “but mommy, I’ll be bigger by the time I am 7 right?” And then I laughed again! Oh, come on, you would laugh too! And then I said, VERY reassuringly, “yes babe, you will be bigger by the time you’re 7!”
