I have many bad memories of school uniforms. I was never satisfied with the way my sports uniform looked …it was always in the “growing up” size that made my mother secretly happy and me, totally sad! Those especially from the ‘red house’ will definitely agree to that ;)
Only the red skirt used to be shapeless and literally blown out of proportion, whereas the blue, green and yellow house skirts were so fluidly well fitted. I hated being in the red house only for that reason!
However, I have been overly excited about my toddler’s first school uniform, in spite of all its redness!
As he progressed to the next class, the school uniform put an end to the usual rounds of shirt or Tee shirt and pants or shorts discussions.
He was made to stand by the wall as we took pictures of him in those red bright shorts and an even brighter Tee shirt with an apple applique and a yellow collar… Oh habibi! I love his uniform!!!
Well, as of now, he loves it too. But soon he will realize the formlessness of a uniform when it refuses to fit like a glove and comes in two sizes too big!
I used to love my red house in school and the colours too...unlike some uncomfortable uniform...
ReplyDeletethe yellow collar is unique and stands out with red running all around the young toddler ;-)
