This Is What Love Looks Like

Last night, as I was grumpily prowling through a pile of overpriced red and white striped hats looking for one that would fit my fifth grader, I asked myself,
Why exactly am I doing this again? I already knew the answer.
The next day was Read Across America Day, which celebrates all things literary (especially Dr. Seuss), and kids get to dress up as their favorite character from his books. (And if there’s one thing elementary schoolers
love, it’s dressing up in costumes.)
My own little Who down in Whoville had forgotten to tell me about the big day until the night before, and when he turned those little hazel peepers on me, I sighed, grabbed my purse, and told him to get in the car. And so, at 7:30 p.m., when I should have been relaxing and watching the latest episode of “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy,” I was up to my armpits in hats and looking over the well-picked-over rack of costumes to see what I could put together.
