Yesterday, I was oiling my hair and took off my flower shaped diamond earrings. Little R started smiling (like she always does) when I started unscrewing the studs. This is a sign that Mamma is about to wear something more glamorous than the boring studs and it means- We're going out!!
So, there she was, my smiling little doll and I ask her- would you like to wear these, Raania? And yes, she nods- so I hold them up against her ear- indeed she does look very pretty. Just like a girl, instead of the imp that she's becoming lately. I exclaim- oh what a pretty girl! and she actually blushes and buries her head in my lap!
I'm so reminded of my own mother and the fact that her baubles look way more attractive and shiny than my own.
Maybe it's the grace in Ma's earrings, maybe it's the sheen of her persona but I still love whatever she's worn!
Little wonder then, that my own daughter loves whatever jewellery I decide to wear!
Genes...or is this a girly thing?
