So, the forms and signs of how our daughter’s fae tendencies express themselves continue to evolve. This one did take us by surprise, although in hindsight it probably shouldn’t have.
My husband, on a day-to-day basis, only wears white T-shirts. I know that you are not asking for fashion tips, nor would you take them should you ever see either of us in the street – but it is relevant. It is not really by choice, but rather, a necessity that this particular item of apparel exists in abundance in his wardrobe. He is rather tall and broad, and as such struggles to find clothes that fit. These t-shirts fit, but come from Costco, and hence they came in bulk.
So now my daughter is very used to seeing her daddy wearing white T-shirts. To the point that, on Sunday when he came to join us wearing a blue dressing gown, she had a full-on meltdown and refused to accept that he was her daddy. She was so adamant that her daddy wears white t-shirts that she would not look at or talk to him and fought fiercely when he tried to give her a cuddle.
She would not stop until he went and changed. He came back wearing the right t-shirt and a bemused expression, and was welcomed with a big smile and relieved hug from a fae child who had believed that her father had been (briefly) replaced by a blue-dressing-gown-wearing imposter.
I feel this is an interesting probably as mummy is still mummy regardless of what she wears and whether her hair is brown, blue, or looking like a Smurf vomited skittles on her.
Who understands the inner workings of the fae mind.
