Homegirl Got Velocity

I was getting dressed to see friends after dinner. Clara (from the bathroom) says, "Mom, come show me you."

Wearing an embroidered Mexican frock, jeans and sandals, I twirl and appear before her. She says,

"Okay, the bottom looks bad."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, sometimes people wear pants with something beautiful at the bottom. And that looks good, like my roses leggings. But not you, right now."

"Really? I feel pretty good. I feel pretty comfy and good just like this."

"Okay, no, you look good. You look good because your sandals have something pretty on the strap there."

Then I proceeded to wipe her and help her wash her hands. Flummoxed and self-suspicious by the comments of my three year-old.
