Continuing her love of all things pink, Margot has obtained a new pair of fuchsia patent leather boots. They do not not leave her feet unless she is asleep, in a swimming pool, or wearing her tap shoes. She wears them to school every day, and has aggressively argued that, because they are "really good for running," the boots are entirely appropriate to wear to gym class. Apparently, she also believes that the boots are representative of the "fall color" spectrum. Here's the email that I received from her teacher last night:
"So, as you may or may not know we are all supposed to wear our "fall colors" on Friday. This morning we were talking about what some appropriate fall colors would be, and some of the students were sharing their ideas. They came up with the usual orange, brown, red, etc. and then I call on Margot, who had her hand up. She hesitated when I first called on her, as she was staring intently at her new (fabulous) boots, and I could pretty much hear the wheels turning in her head trying to figure out a way to make pink a 'fall color.' Needless to say, she did figure out a rationalization -- some leaves are 'between red and pink.' I can't wait to see Friday's outfit."
