"Can I wear a super cute outfit, Mommy?"
"Of course."
And so I picked out what I thought was a super cute outfit. Cuffed cropped jeans from Gap Kids, her favorite pink shirt, and matching socks. All which would compliment her everyday non-negotiable, Disney princess light-up sneakers.
Later on my husband picks her up from school and comes home to tell me Kaylee can no longer wear her Gap jeans to school.
"Why?" I asked.
"Her teacher said they kept falling down on her."
"Oh." I thought for a second. How could these jeans be falling down on her? For starters, they are a 2T- a size below her age. I had carefully adjusted the elastic bands in the waistline that morning. My daughter is tall and skinny. Of course pants are naturally going to hang slightly lower on her. But 'falling off' her? That's a bit of an exaggeration and I wasn't buying it.
A few days later, I received the weekly newsletter from Kaylee's teacher. The weekly theme was 'Fire Safety.' Kaylee is the one demonstrating 'Stop, Drop, and Roll.'
For now, those Gap jeans will be worn exclusively at home.
