Ahhh...Emme...My Emme...

I made the most darling pair of Tinkerbell pants in the Zuma pattern. The fabric is a gorgeous oxford/pique. There was only one yard left last year when I bought it. I haven't been able to find more since.

This evening, Emme offered to try on some clothes for me - OFFERED. I jumped at the chance. "Okay, I say handing her the Zumas. "Try these on."
"Sure!" Emme is uncharacteristically cooperative. It doesn't last long.
Emme pulls them on and frowns. "Oh no." She says. "I'm taking these off."
"Why?" I whine.
"Because they make me look fat."
That's what she said.
She's a skinny little beanpole.
And what's more - Hello? SHE'S FOUR.
I don't get it.
