My mother arrived, unannounced and uninvited, at out house this week. Her specialty is arriving at 3.30pm as I bring the children home from school when I have about half an hour to get them changed and fed a snack before dashing out to one of their various after school activities.
She made a big show of giving a ?present? to my 5yo DD. This turns out to be a white school shirt. Except its absolutely huge ? I guess a ladies size 16. When I point out that it?s a little too big for DD (who wears aged 3-4 clothes), she replies
? Your sister has to buy a uniform shirt for Boys Brigade [she?s an officer] but she doesn?t like the quality ? it?s a cheap fabric. So she bought a nice one from M&S, unpicked the badge from the unform shirt and sewed on the other one. But its seems a shame to throw out a perfcctly good shirt so I thought you could keep it for [DD name]?.
