"be yourself day"

Kyla's favorite type of outfit consists of the following:

"short pants" ( jean capris with a design on the rear pockets )
" a cool shirt" ( her favorite one is the one she wore the first day of school, the blue and black striped one with the "rocker" looking design on the front )
a black belt

and her black boots ( she switches between her tall black boots and her black cowboy boots )

I only allow this at home because boots and short pants look funny as the short pants are about an inch above the top of the boots. She thinks it looks fantastic. She wants to wear it to school daily, and we argue about this every morning.

So last night she came up with this:

Kyla: "MOM, guess what tomorrow is?"
Me: "what is tomorrow Kyla?"
Kyla: " It's dress cool day. You know, like be yourself day!"

Me: ( cracking up inside ) " WOW, really?! That's an awesome name for a day, are you SURE it's tomorrow because tomorrow is normally school colors day? "
Kyla: ( starting to smirk cause she can NOT lie to save her life ) "Yes mom, I'm totally serious."

Me: " that is so lucky for you - what in the world are you going to wear? "
Kyla: " they even said you can wear boots and short pants and EVERYTHING."

Me: " that's just CRAZY, you must be SO excited! "

So this morning, she puts on her short pants and cowboy boots while I'm silently thankful that my dad is taking her to school and not me. My silence and slight suggestion finally hit her and she walked up to me and said: "FINE, I'll just wear long pants with my boots!" *BIG SIGH*
