Kindergarten Color Days

Each day Tessa's K teacher has assigned a specific color for the children to come dressed in. Unfortunately, Tessa's brown capris were in the laundry. I probably take this way to seriously as I like to dress her from head to toe in the daily color. She has been reminding me each day that it is no big deal and a little color counts too. Still, I want to make the best color impression, so I began to dig through her drawers and hunt through her closet to find something all brown. No luck. I sat down contemplating other scemes...borrowing from older sister, pulling the brown capris out of the laundry....Tessa sweetly pulls out her camoflauge capris and states, "This has brown on it." "You are right," I replied, "Put them on." We found a cute green shirt to go with it and Tessa even let me put ribbons with brown circles on them in her hair.

My husband came home for lunch to eat with us and take Tessa to school. We asked him if he could guess what the color of the day is. He tried, "Beige, tan,.." Tessa rolled her eyes and gave him a clue. "It starts with the letter "B" dad." He tried again, "Blue, green..." Tessa laughed and told him he needed to practice his letter sounds. I sat there trying to see if he was joking---no he wasn't. He was clueless. Tessa then gave a second clue. "Dad, the second sound is "rrrr." "Brown!," he finally guessed.
