Fashion Advice

You should all be jealous of me.  I have a live-in fashion consultant. Everyday, I am told what I should or should not wear.  Most days, I am told that I should wear a skirt when going to work.  Even when I go running, my fashion consultant provides critiques of my attire.  The advice she gives is usually pretty darn accurate.  Even if my consultant is only four years old.


Today, as I was dressing, I could not decide between two pairs of shoes.  I was torn, and forgot, momentarily, about my consultant.  So, I went in to ask her advice between the two pairs.  


Big Girl:  (almost without even looking up from her work assembling the train tracks for Brother Bear) I do not like those shoes.
Me:  You don't like either one? (thinking maybe she misunderstood and I needed to ask a little differently)
Big Girl:  Mommy, will you please get different ones?


Well, no misunderstanding there.  My fashion consultant did not approve of the shoes.  At least she did not tell me that I looked fat.
