A tailoring triumph

When I first told you guys about Bobby's Easter bonnet, it was but the mere beginnings of his creation. He had originally said 'I want a middle-sized blue square for my hat'. Then he decided that the design should be in the shape of an easter bunny, so his description is as follows: The circles on either side or the bunny's eyes, the spaghetti is the bunny's whiskers and the yellow lines or his teeth. The white muffin case is a flower. He was so incredibly proud of his creation and he kept saying ''We get a prize if we did our hats ourselves, right mama?' And also, 'My teachers are going to LOVE my hat!'

The vicar came to judge the competition at Bobby's nursery and had all the kids sit down in a group. I couldn't stop laughing because all you could see of Bobby's hat was the underside of the blue square, which showed a kid playing with a plastic toy (He'd cut the board from a toy box). There are about 45 kids all together. He said, 'On a hot day like today, I'd most like to be wearing the nicely ventilated hat, which really stood out from the rest. I think it has a pond on it.' And he called Bobby's name. Bobby was so embarrassed about winning he ran over to me and hid in my lap. Once the embarrassment had settled, he was so proud. As was his mama.
