Chloe: Oh, MOMMY! I wear THIS today! I wear this!
Mommy: Chloe, it's really too cold for that...
Chloe: I WEAR IT.
Mommy: Chloe, it's 50 degrees outside, you can't wear a ballerina costume.
Chloe: I WEAR IT.
Mommy: Chlo, I don't think that will work.
Chloe: I WEAR IT.
Mommy: Sigh... Ok, I will make you a deal - you can wear it, but you have to wear tights and a cardigan.
Chloe: OK! OK!
(Mommy searches for tights - find a pair, but they do not match. Mommy cares not. Finds a white cardigan.)
Chloe (pointing): I not wear that [cardigan] or that [tights].
Mommy: THAT WAS THE DEAL.
Chloe: No.
Mommy: Then no ballet dress!
Chloe: All-riiiight.
****
(We get ready and go outside to get in the car.)
Chloe: Mommy, you take my picture!
Mommy: Chlo, why don't you dance for me?
Mommy: Chlo, I said "dance."
Chloe: This IS dancing.
Mommy: Oh.

It is worth noting that none of the other parents at school even NOTICED this ensemble - they were all as Monday shell shocked as I was. Also, this ballerina dress is too powerful for school - it brings out a dark and demanding side of the Chloster. When I arrived, she said, "Mommy, I had a rough day." When I looked at her teacher, she confirmed, "IT WAS A ROUGH DAY." Ballet costumes are now only for the weekend.

p.s. you should have seen some of Rachel's outfits-which she will deny
It was a rough day because you forgot the pink boa. The outfit was NOT complete!
