My daughter, Avery, has borrowed her dad’s iPod while playing outside. I hear her come in and run to her room rifling through her things. I pay it no mind as she does this about forty-seven hundred times throughout any given day. I mean, she’s six. What else does she have to do?<\/p>\n

But then she walks by me and the flash of sudden pink gets my attention.<\/p>\n

There she stands, pink Mexican cowboy hat, flashy rhinestone-studded fuschia shirt and denim mini skirt. A seemingly different outfit than the one she entered her room wearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did you change your clothes?\u201d\u009d I ask.<\/p>\n

“Because I’m listening to “Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

Duh, mom.Doesn’t everyone theme their clothes to the song currently playing on the iPod?<\/p>\n

She reinserts the earbuds and exits, boots clomping a rhythmical “tat-tat-tat” as she sashays her way back out the front door. I swear I smell Charlie cologne in her wake.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

God I love these moments.<\/p>\n

Love to all, Mindy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
