All of a sudden I realised that it was unnervingly quiet in my daughter's bedroom
Peeked around the door to find her and her usually very noisy friend painting each other's toe nails. Purples, greens, sparkles . . homemade anklets, friendship bracelets, and scrunchies to accessorise. She doesn't have an interest in any other makeup, but nail varnish is colourful and fun and she is really good at doing it . . much better than I ever was.
A nice peaceful thing for teenage girls to do together, but over-fussy mama of course remembered that both had drama and PE on Monday.
"So is Miss F alright with nail varnish?"
A shadow briefly flickered across my daughter's face, then disappeared again.
"She'll be cool".
So that's sorted then 🙂 And if it's not, I shall weigh in on their behalf. Because they are doing no more than bringing a splash of colour and sparkle to school at the beginning of the week. And they are both the image of the fun, quirky, creative girl that I always wished to be at school 🌈
