An eternal truth

Women of all ages love new clothes.  I was reminded of this truth when the 4th grade, recently turned 10 year old girl who I tutor on Monday afternoons came strutting off the bus and into our meeting room.  I though her outfit looked new and it was confirmed when she proudly told me that she and her mom had gone shopping this weekend and these were her new clothes. She is one of seven sisters so I suspect a shopping trip alone with her mom is a pretty special occasion. Her new outfit consisted of a "Minion" t-shirt (Minions are very popular with my granddaughters so I recognized this) and dark blue denim overalls decorated with silver studs. Altogether a perfect outfit for a ten-year-old.  I think, to celebrate her excitement, I should go shopping. It seems appropriate.
