Blue hat, green scarf
Purple mittens, there she goes
I watch and chuckle at her style
In her sister’s cast-off clothes
Sister-sweaters, sister tops
‘Lucky’ her when sister shops
Nail-polish, perfume, jewelry
Slippers, purses…too many
Extra wallets, teddy-bears
Scarves and flowers for her hair
…what happens when you are half-grown?
You get big sister’s hand-me-downs

seldom/never complains but yesterday morning as we were trying to find a
suitable top she stated, ‘Mom. Some of these clothes are so old I think they
were old from before Emily and Melissa’s days…’
As she headed out to school this morning I couldn't help but chuckle a little at her 'rain-bow' style.
Guess who might be getting clothes for Christmas;)
My mom has an older sister ~ about 10 years older. She used to get her hand-me-downs, and said most of the time, they were out of style before she could fit in them. I'm sure she could relate to Victoria :) Still, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI know I have some younger sisters who could relate as well:)
