The Coolest Girl

Yesterday, Olivia told me that she, Daniela and Emily are the coolest girls in her class.

"Why do you think you guys are the coolest girls in the class?" I was very curious.

"I don't know, I guess we are always in fashion."

In fashion? I admit that I enjoy getting beautiful clothes for my kids, but practicability is still the main theme when I shop for them and I really don't dress her in the morning with the word "fashion" in my mind :).

This morning, she came downstairs wearing a brown hooded sweater Granna got her with the hood pulled over her head. She stroke through her long hair with her hands and made sure a couple of strands are sticking out of the hood on both sides of her face. Then she said to me:

"Mom, you don't have to put my hair up today."

"Why?" I asked on purpose.

"Because when you wear a hooded sweater, you are supposed to let your hair down like this. This is fashion. It's cool. "

I laughed to myself as she was really cute when she said that. It is nice for a girl to have a sense of fashion of course but I hope she won't be obsessed with it. Someday she will know that being in fashion doesn't necessarily make someone cool.
