Meganism –the fashion guru

While driving around town Megan and I have been singing Christmas carols so that she can learn them before her Christmas program for preschool next week. Last night on the way to my meeting,we sang Rudolph. At the end Megan got very troubled…

Megan:Mommy,they wouldn’t let Rudolph play in their reindeer games.
Mommy:Why don’t you think they wouldn’t?{teachable moment –I had to take advantage of it}
Megan:I don’t know.
Mommy:It was because he looked different.
Megan:Yeah,and that’s not very nice!
Mommy:Nope,it shouldn’t matter what you look like. Think of how boring it would be if everyone looked the same! That’s why God made some people with blond hair,some people with black hair,some with brown and some with red. He made some people short,some people tall
Megan:and some people with straight hair like mine.
Mommy:Yup
Megan:Yeah. I have straight blond hair. And Mommy,you have…. you have brown tangly hair.

Hrm. Maybe I need to comb my hair more often.
