Okay, so I wear pants about 98% of the time. It’s not that I dislike skirts — I actually like wearing them very much — but since my day usually involves standing in front of a classroom for hours and then going home and kicking a soccer ball around the lawn with the boys, I find that trousers are just more practical. So those dresses in my closet don’t get a lot of airtime.
But a week or so ago, I was getting ready to go meet my mom, grandmother and aunt for afternoon tea. It was a nice enough day to wear a springy green dress and high-heeled sandals. I emerged from the bedroom in my fresh, oh-so-feminine ensemble.
Matthew, who was eating lunch, glanced up from his plate. “Mommy, you look nice,” he said. He looked curiously at my dress. “What’s that thing called?”
