She was dressed monochromatically in maroon. On her chest emblazoned the letters "EG", made from white drawing paper and plastered down with clear packing tape. Her eyes were protected from the suns bright rays with H.U.G.E. robin's egg blue CoCo Chanel style sunglasses. Fluttering behind her, a cape of epic proportions....fashioned from a 5ft. cheetah print, fringed pashmina shawl and 2 silver carabiners.
The Girl opened the car door and plopped in the passenger seat.
Me: How the heck are ya?
Girl: Good.
Me: Did you have a good day?
Girl: Yup.
Me: Did you make that outfit in Art Club?
Girl: Nope. I thought it up on the way to school.
Me: You wore that all day?
Girl: Yup.
Me: Cool. Did anybody make fun of you?
Girl: Nope. Some mean girls stepped on my cape at lunch. But I turned around and was like "What the heck?" and they were like, "Maybe you shouldn't even be wearing it." and I was like, "Whatever." They just didn't get it.
Me: Oh. Sucks. What does the "EG" stand for?
Girl: "EnviroGirl". I wanted to bring attention to Earth Day and I totally did.
Me: I bet! So you wore that all day? Did the other kids think it was cool?
Girl: Most of them kept asking what the "EG" was for so I got to remind them it was Earth Day.
Me: Wow! That's a great thing. Did any of the teachers make you take it off?
Girl: Nope. Ms. Science-teacher asked about it and I told her I thought kids should be allowed to dress up as Super Hero's everyday.
Me: Nice.
Girl: Yeah and Ms. English-teacher said I was the bravest student she's ever had.
Me: I bet.
Girl: Yeah. Next year, I think I need a Green Body suit and Gold Glasses for a Mask. I also need to work on getting a better cape with a logo. But this was pretty good for thinking it up on the way to school.
Me: True dat. You are awesome.
Girl: I know.
