Going "Cat"

"Mama," Valerie announced as she tossed black leggings and a black shirt onto my bed, "I'm going cat today. Can you help me find my headband?"

Indeed.

What could be better? Seven years old and deciding to dress as a cat for a day out riding the trolley and visiting the natural history museum. It seemed so normal, I had to remind myself why passersby might be smiling at us a little more than usual.
